Energy is necessary for our everyday lives. Energy is used for everything from heating water to running our cars. A large portion of this energy is powered by fossil fuels. Different economies use different amounts of energy, and in different areas. These fluctuations can be due to geographical differences, differing cultures, and varying technologies amongst other things. The energy use breakdown for Hong Kong can be seen in the figure below, as discovered by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD).
A more detailed breakdown by the different areas that use this consumption and what it is being used for can be seen below. Figures such as these prove to be important because it shows which areas are consuming the most energy, thus revealing which are areas that need to be focused on for reducing energy consumption.
