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 first diagram depicts the percentage distribution of Australian household
energy
consumption and related gas
emissions
in six categories: water
heating, refrigeration, heating, cooling, lighting, and other usages.
Overall
, it is completely evident that water
heating and heating utilized the highest energy
whereas
water
heating and other appliances were on the top of the list of pollutant gas
released.
The first chart vividly demonstrates that heating accounted for the dominant share
of energy
consumption at 42%, nearly followed by water
heating, which resulted in 30% of total consumption, covering more than 70%. Meanwhile, the remaining less than 30% was divided into four other sectors: other usages 15%, refrigeration 7%, and lighting 4%. Cooling recorded the lowest percentage of energy
utilization, with only 2%.
The second diagram is a detailed breakdown of gas
emissions
from different energy
-consuming activities. It shows that water
heating had the highest share
of gas
emissions
, 32%, followed closely by other appliances, 28%. In addition
, refrigerating, heating, and lighting's share
was 14%,15%, and 3%, respectively. Cooling, again had a modest percentage share
of 3% for greenhouse gas
emissions
