Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The first chart presents the
energy
consumption
breakdown in an average Australian household,
while
the second chart demonstrates the corresponding
greenhouse
gas
emissions
.
Overall
, water heating and heating combined account for the majority of
energy
consumption
in Australian households, contributing significantly to
greenhouse
gas
emissions
. Other appliances
also
play a notable role in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
. Heating
consumption
constitutes 42% of total
energy
usage, which is roughly three times higher than the proportion of
greenhouse
gas
emissions
at 15%. Water heating,
on the other hand
, has the highest
greenhouse
gas
emissions
at 32%, despite only representing 2% of household
energy
use.
Additionally
, other household appliances represent 15% of
energy
consumption
, nearly double the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
proportion of 28%. Specifically, lighting and refrigeration contribute 4% and 7% to
energy
usage respectively, and these percentages are replicated in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
as well. Cooling has the smallest share in both
energy
consumption
and
greenhouse
gas
emissions
.
