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 bar chart compares families' average

energy

spending in Australia,

whereas

the second bar chart depicts the emissions of

greenhouse

gas caused by

this

energy

consumption.

Overall

,

it is clear that

the highest proportion of the

energy

is allocated to heating in the first chart, standing at 42%. Cooling,

on the other hand

, is not only the lowest usage of

energy

but

also

results in the smallest segment of

greenhouse

gas emissions. The

energy

which is used for water heating in the highest share of

greenhouse

gasses, at 32%. In more detail, despite heating being the most crucial purpose of using

energy

, water heating is the second major in the percentage of using

energy

, at around 30%. Refrigeration, lighting, and cooling comprise only small portions of 7%, 4%, and 2%, respectively.

By contrast

, the

energy

which is used for water heating induces the highest emission of

greenhouse

gasses. The figure for other appliances is 28%, which is approximately two-fold the number for heating (15%) and refrigerating (14%) and is higher by 20% than the portion for lightning. The number for cooling is negligible, at 3%.
