The first pie chart demonstrates an Australian household’s energy usage, while the second pie chart indicates the upshot of the cited use, which is greenhouse gas emissions.
Generally, the correlation between energy consumption and the percentage of discharged greenhouse gas is quite parallel among the mentioned factors in the charts. The more power is used, the more greenhouse gas is emitted into the atmosphere. The only difference is recorded in the purpose of heating, in which the proportion of greenhouse gas is not equivalent to the similar figure of used power.
As per the first pie chart, the percentages of energy used for heating and water heating already account for nearly three-quarters of the whole consumption. Not much energy is spent for other purposes like cooling (2%), lighting (4%), refrigeration (7%), and other appliances (15%).
On the flip side, water heating contributes to nearly one-third of the emitted greenhouse gas amount. A two-fold increase compared to the figures for power utilization is also observed in other factors, like refrigeration (14%), lighting (8%), and other appliances (28%). However, a large amount of energy spent on heating doesn’t emit much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.
