The first chart below shows how energy is used in an average Australian household. The second chart shows the greenhouse gas emissions which result from this energy use. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The first pie chart illustrates the usage of

in Australian households

while

the second pie chart illustrates how

Overall

, heating is the main

in Australian households

while

water

heating plays a major part in

greenhouse

emissions

. 42% of

energy

use

comes from heating followed by

water

heating with 30%.

in

as it only has 2% in consumption. Refrigeration and lighting are

also

considered low in percentage with 7% and 4% respectively.

While

other appliances only account for 15% which is halved of

water

heating’s percentage. In terms of

greenhouse

gas

emissions

, the majority of the emission comes from

water

heating with 32%

while

heating only accounts for 15%. Other appliances, even though, have 15% of the

energy

use

, they account for 28% of

greenhouse

gas

emissions

which is the second highest in the chart.

On the other hand

, cooling and lighting don’t emit many

greenhouse

gases as cooling only accounts for 3% and 8% for lighting. Cooling and lighting indicate a lower percentage of

energy

use

leads to a lower rate of

greenhouse

gas

emissions
