Sankey Diagram - Davinia Brito
Advanced Research Projects Agency reviewed all available US energy data sources and produced a "Super Sankey" diagram of the American energy economy. This idea was used to collect energy as it flows from primary energy sources such as coal, gas, oil, hydropower, solar, geothermal, and nuclear. These will all transform into intermediate forms such as gasoline, diesel, or electricity and then into sectors of the economy.
The diagram shows how the width of each flow in the diagram corresponds to the size of the energy quantity. This helps identify key major losses, for instance, in generation or transmission, and also where interventions might have the largest impact.
