The first pie chart illustrates the average of household energy consumption in Australia followed by the proportion of greenhouse gas emissions from that use in the second pie chart.
It is remarkable that heating has been used the most by Australians among all types of energy which accounted for 42%. The usage of energy from water heating also shows a high proportion about 30% of all energy types. However, while greenhouse gas emissions from heating show a proportion of only 15%, water heating produces the highest greenhouse gas among all energy which accounted for 32%.
In addition, the usage of energy for cooling and lighting is the lowest with the proportion of 2% and 4% respectively. The results from the greenhouse gas emissions in the second figure show a similar percentage of 3% and 8%.
In conclusion, the proportion of energy usage in heating and water heating is higher than any other household purposes. Cooling and lighting not only display the least amount of energy that has been used in Australian households but also the lowest greenhouse gas emissions from energy use.
