The first pie chart compares the power consumptions in a typical Australian house whereas the second one presents data on the percentages of greenhouse effects of these power-consuming equipment. As a general trend, the more energy a household appliance use, the more greenhouse gas it emits.
As can be seen, water heating, keeping the house warm or cool consume almost half of the energy required in an average Australian family. Cooking, standby and lighting all together utilise around 20% power while refrigerators alone need 12% electricity. All other appliances consume the rest one-quarter energy share.
Interesingly, there is a correlation between the percentage of energy a particular device requires to run and the percentage of greenhouse gas this device produces with the exception of heating and cooling device. Heating water, warming and cooling the rooms attribute to more than half of the total greenhouse gas emission. Cooking, stand by and lighting combinedly contribute to 14% gas production which is almost same as the amount produced by other appliances in a house.
In summary, heating and cooling devices emit the highest percentages of greenhouse gas though they consume less power than water heaters. Other devices contribute to emit dangerous gases based on the percentages of energy they require to function.
