The graphs below show the percentage of household energy used and the amount of greenhouse gases produced in Australia. Summarise the information making comparisons where relevant.

The pie charts present the proportions of usage of household

energy

and the manufactured greenhouse gases.

This

includes data from Australia.

Overall

, the highest amount of

energy

used in each household is from other appliances

whereas

the most produced greenhouse gas in Australia is from heating and cooling.

Similarly

, the lowest proportion in each category is from stand-by. In detail, the highest consumption of

energy

in Australian homes is for other appliances at 24% and with a 1% difference with the use of water heating. A fifth of the percentage is from heating and cooling, and an adjacent fraction for refrigeration and the usage of lighting with 12% and 11%.

Lastly

, Australian households least consume

energy

for stand-by and cooking which has an equal proportion of 5%.

Furthermore

, heating and cooling usually is the highest source of production of greenhouse gas in Australia with 38%.

This

is followed by water heating acquiring a quarter of the pie chart and other appliances with 16%. The same percentage is seen for lighting and refrigeration both with 7%. Still, the lowest rate is cooking and stand-by sources with less than 5%.
