The first pie chart illustrates the consumption of energy in an Australian household while the other one shows the emittion of harmful gases as a result of it.
Overall, it is clear that heating takes the highest energy use, but water heating causes nearly one third of gas emissions.
42% of energy is emitted due to heating, which is 12% more than that of water heating. By conrast, the figure for other appliances is just 15% and the rest, including refigiration, lightning and cooling, at 7%, 4% and 2%, respectively.
Water heating is responsible for the nearly one third of gas emission, while the energy consumption for cooling is 3%. Lightning, refirigeration and other appliances produce as twice less energy as they emit gases. Meanwhile, heating just accounts for 15% of gas emissions.
