The two charts display the the total energy expenditure and electricity creation of the world since last year. Overall, oil was the most consumed item around the globe, while coal was the most used item for electricity production.Other sources experienced slight increases over the course of a period. In world energy consumption, oil was mostly consumed(34.3), followed by coal(25.1) and gas(20.9). The rest of the sources like nuclear, hydro and renewable wastes were utilized in very minute amounts. In total work energy generation, coal(39.8)was used almost double the amount as compared to energy expenditure, followed by gas(19.6). Other sources like hydro and nuclear were used in the same amount 16.1 and 15.7 respectively. Oil was used almost five times less as compared to energy consumption which is 6.7. Other items were used in the least amount which is 2.1.
The first chart shows the energy consumption by the average household in Australia, while the second chart illustrates the greenhouse gas emission that come from this energy consumption. Specifically, heating and water heating consume a significant amount of energy, most of the greenhouse gas emission come from water heating and other appliances. Moreover, this shows that heating and water heating are the two largest uses of energy, with 42 and 30 percent of the total. Othe appliances consume 15%, which is roughly twice as energy used by refrigeration. Lighting and cooling use minute energy, at 4% and 2%. In conclusion, heating is one of the highest sources used in the household energy use, while water heating is one of the major sources of greenhouse gas emission. The second largest source of emission is other appliances which is 28%. Shockingly, heating produce less amount of emission rather than uses of energy, the refrigeration produce 14% , while using energy 7%. Finally lighting and cooling result at 8% and 3%
