A study of nations around the world found that Germany uses the highest amount of renewable energy with 12.74%. This was followed by the UK (11.95%), Sweden (10.96%), Spain (10.17%), Italy (8.8%), Brazil (7.35%), Japan (5.3%), Turkey (5.25%), Australia (4.75%) and the USA (4.32%) all making up the top ten. Clearly, much work needs to be done to increase these usage rates in order to reach a completely renewable future, but this need is driving industry forward and creating opportunities in this sector.
