![Sankey diagram, Sweden][1] 2.Apart from other usage(covers residential, commercial and public services, agriculture/forestry, fishing and non-specified) which takes up 11.79 Mtoe, the largest energy comsumption occurs in industry with a number of 11.00 Mtoe. ![other consumption][2] ![industry consumption][3] 3.From the Sankey Diagram of Sweden, I think there are several aspects I can focus on. From the energy sources : (1)reduce oil (products) consumtion to reduce transportation costs because all of its oil consumption comes from imports.(2)improve the efficiency of nuclear energy conversion because nuclear energy takes up a large portion of its entire energy constitution.(3)convert more power losses to heat products in the power station because this can contribute to the heating system here, which is essential in national energy consumption. From the consumptions : (1)enhance the household energy efficiency. Judging from my experience the residents here rely heavily on electricity in all kind of infrastructure. For instance,we have electric accessible facilities almost everywhere. No doubt it's convenient but even ordinary people use them, which adds to the energy consumption. Personally speaking it's better if they replace (parts) of them with mechenical devides.(2)restore solar energy in summer for heating system in winter beccause in summer we have more than 10 hours' strong sunshine while in winter it's totally the reverse. (3)develope more biologic and electronic vehicles instead of fossil fuel vehicles, which in turn decreases the demand of oil and oil production beacause we have afluent bio-resources ![the sunshine here is really strong even in winter(although relatively quite short)][4] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14617365625771508.jpg [2]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14617366059960739.jpg [3]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14617365874118782.jpg [4]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14617366181135841.jpg
