The first chart shows how energy is used in an average Australian household. The second chart shows the greenhouse gas emissions which result from this energy use.

The first chart compares the purpose of using

energy

in domestic in Australia. The second chart illustrates the percentage of greenhouse

gas

emissions

released from the use of

this

energy

.

Overall

,

it is clear that

most Australians use

energy

for heating and water heating, which contribute to a significant proportion of

gas

emissions

from the consumption of

energy

. For the first chart, heating and water heating are the largest uses of

energy

, at around 42% and 30%, respectively.

Moreover

, the rate of other appliances is approximately twice as high as that of refrigeration, at only 7%. Meanwhile, the figures for lighting and cooling used account for about 4% and 2% in that order. Regarding the second picture, we can see that the percentage of water heating makes up the highest of total

gas

emissions

, at around 32%,

whereas

that of other appliances was slightly lower, at about 28%.

Besides

, the figures for heating and refrigeration releasing greenhouse

gas

emissions

into the air are quite similar, at just over 14%.

By contrast

, cooling and lighting dispose of a few

gas

emissions

in a total six of categories, at only 8% and 3% in the order given.
