The given data provides information about the energy consumption in an average Australian household and the corresponding percentages of carbon emissions. The largest portion of energy consumption in households is not from heating, which results in the highest level of toxic gas emissions.
The data highlights that the energy used for water heating accounts for 30%, which is roughly equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide produced. Additionally, there is a discrepancy between the energy consumed and the gas emitted in other household activities, representing 13%.
Interestingly, the toxic gas emissions from refrigeration, at 14%, are twice the amount of energy consumption for this purpose. Conversely, lighting only contributes 4% of energy consumption and a quarter of the toxic gas emissions created. This is comparable to the energy usage for cooling purposes.
Moreover, the percentage of toxic gas emissions is about double that of energy consumption in Australia.
