Q. The chart below shows how Australian household energy use. The second graph shows greenhouse gas emissions from this energy use.

The amount of energy consumed by various households in Australia and the share of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from this are shown in these pie charts.

The first chart illustrate that the average Australian household uses the most energy (42%) for heating, which is 12% more energy used for water heating. Refrigeration, lighting and cooling consume just under one-sixth of the total Australian household energy consumption (7%, 4%, 2% respectively), while cooling consumes the least amount of energy. The share of energy consumption with other household appliances is also approximately the same (15%).

In terms of the proportion of greenhouse gas emissions, refrigeration and lighting emit 14% and 8%, which is twice the energy they consume. Nearly a one-third of gas emissions come from water heating, which is the highest and more than double emissions from refrigeration and heating. The percentage of gas emitted during cooling is only 3%, while emissions from other appliances account for 28% of the total share (the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions).

Overall, it can be seen that there is no correlation between the level of energy consumption by Australian households and greenhouse gas emissions.
