The pie charts illustrate how households in Australia consume energy and the

equivalent greenhouse gases emitted from their energy-consuming activities.

Overall, Australian households use the majority of energy for heating, either their
homes or water, which in turn releases the largest amount of greenhouse gas
emissions.
One of the most significant points in the data is that, while heating accounts for
42% of energy consumption, it is only responsible for 15% of gases releasing into
the environment. This contrasts sharply with other appliances, which use a merely
15% of energy, yet comprising approximately 30% of greenhouse gases. Water
heating consumes about a third of the total energy and makes up a nearly identical
figure of gas emissions.
The figures for other activities including cooling, refrigeration, and lighting were
rather insignificant. To be precise, a tiny 2% of energy is used to keep Australian
families cool and another 7% to preserve their food in the refrigerators, causing 3%
and 14% of gas emissions respectively. The remaining shares (4% of energy and
8% of gases) belong to lighting category.

The pie charts illustrate how households in Australia consume energy and the
equivalent greenhouse gases emitted from their energy-consuming activities.
Overall, the majority of energy used by Australian households is for heating, either
their homes or water. These activities are also responsible for the largest
proportions of carbon emissions.
One of the most significant points in the data is that heating alone accounts for
42% of energy consumption, but it only releases 15% of gases to the environment.
Water heating, however, consumes nearly a third of the total, yet makes up a nearly
identical percentage of gas emissions. The third-highest category of energy use is
other appliances (15%), which results in approximately 30% of greenhouse gases.
Other purposes including cooling, refrigeration, and lighting contribute to rather
small proportions of energy use and the resulting emissions. In fact, Australian
households spend a tiny 2% of energy to keep them cool and another 7% to
preserve food in their refrigerators, causing 3% and 14% of gas emissions
respectively. The remaining shares on the two charts are of lighting.
