The two pie charts compare the consumption of energy and how much greenhouse gases is produced in each family in Australia.
Overall, the vast majority of energy is used for heating, while water heating makes up the largest proportion of greenhouse gas emitted in Australian households.
42% of energy consumption in an Australian family is spent on heating, which is the highest figure on the chart, followed by that of water heating, at 30%. However, energy use for other appliances accounts for only 15%. Cooling, lighting, and refrigeration fall into under 7%.
Turning to the carbon dioxide released, water heating and other appliances take up 32% and 28% respectively. In contrast, we can see that the energy use for heating and refrigeration is lower, at 15% and 14% each. The data of lighting and cooling constitutes the production of one-tenth of total gas emissions.
