The first chart below shows how energy is used in an Australian household. The second chart shows the greenhouse gas emissions which result from this energy use.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant
The given pie charts illustrate Australian household energy use for 6 different purposes as well as the greenhouse gas emissions produced from those purposes.
As can be seen from the chart, it is evident that heating made up the vast majority of the energy use. However, the gas emission produced by water heating was the biggest contributor for the total amount.
It is apparent that Australian household used most of the energy for heating, at 42% but it produced 15% of the household greenhouse emission. Water heating occupied 30% of the total amount of energy and 32% of the emissions.
Concerning other household appliances, it used 15% of the energy but produced 28% of the gas emissions. The refrigeration cost small amount of energy, at 7% but the emission of that doubled the energy, 14%. Cooling and lighting used less than 5% of energy, therefore, produced less than 10% of emissions.
