The first chart below shows how energy is used in an average Australian household. The second chart shows the percentage of greenhouse gas emissions which result from this energy use. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

In the first chart,

energy

usage is divided into several categories: heating (42%),

water

heating (30%), other

appliances

(15%),

refrigeration

(7%), lighting (4%), and cooling (2%). Heating and

water

heating dominate

energy

consumption, together accounting for 72% of the total

energy

used. The second chart details the greenhouse gas

emissions

resulting from

this

energy

consumption.

Water

heating is the largest contributor, responsible for 32% of

emissions

.

This

is followed by other

appliances

(28%), heating (15%),

refrigeration

(14%), lighting (8%), and cooling (3%). Comparing the two charts,

while

heating consumes the most

energy

, its contribution to greenhouse gas

emissions

is significantly lower at 15%.

Conversely

, other

appliances

, which use 15% of the

energy

, generate a disproportionately high 28% of

emissions

.

Water

heating,

although

using 30% of the

energy

, has the highest

emissions

at 32%.

Refrigeration

also

shows a notable disparity, using 7% of

energy

but contributing 14% of

emissions

.

Overall

, it is evident that the relationship between

energy

use and greenhouse gas

emissions

is not directly proportional, with certain categories like other

appliances

and

refrigeration

being more emission-intensive relative to their

energy

consumption.
