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.

The graphs indicate how much

energy

is used by an ordinary Australian household for various purposes and the quantity of gases which stem from each usage, proportionally.

Overall

, it is explicit that the main part of

energy

is used for heating, both water and space heating.

Also

, a significant segment of greenhouse gases is because of water heating and other appliances. Regarding

energy

-intensive statistics, what stands out from the scheme is that in Australia

energy

is mainly used with the aim of heating, more than 70%.

However

, the sum of the lighting, cooling and refrigeration is almost as identical as the other appliances

energy

expenditure, 13% and 15% respectively. Turning to gas emissions, it can be seen that three-quarters of them are accounted for by water heating, other appliances and refrigeration which are 32%, 28% and 14 per cent respectively.

Furthermore

, the least amount is associated with cooling, just 3%;

while

heating generates 15% gas which is roughly two times greater than lighting.
