Table 3.2: Australia’s primary energy consumption, by energy type, 2013–14 Energy consumption Annual growth 2013–14 (PJ) Share (per cent) 2013–14 (per cent) 10 years (per cent) Coal 1,845.6 31.7 -5.0 -2.2 Oil 2,237.8 38.4 -1.5 2.0 Gas 1,401.9 24.0 2.2 3.9 Renewables 345.7 5.9 4.0 2.4 Total 5,831.1 100.0 -1.5 0.9 Source: Department of Industry and Science (2015) Australian Energy Statistics, Table C By industry Australian energy consumption fell by 1.5 per cent in 2013–14. Growth in energy consumption in the transport, mining and commercial and services sectors was largely offset by declines in energy use in the manufacturing, electricity supply and residential sectors. In 2013–14 transport overtook the electricity supply sector as the largest energy user, growing by 1.1 per cent. Energy consumption in the electricity supply sector declined by 2.8 per cent in 2013–14. Energy consumption in the manufacturing sector also fell by 6.9 per cent. However, transport, electricity supply and manufacturing remained the largest energy users in 2013–14, accounting for around three-quarters of Australia’s energy consumption. 30 ENERGY IN AUSTRALIA 2015

Queensland and Western Australia account for another 40 per cent. The transport, electricity and manufacturing sectors were the largest energy using sectors in the eastern states and territories except Tasmania. The electricity sector has the highest share in total energy consumption in Victoria and Queensland; while the transport sector comprised the largest share in New South Wales and South Australia. The mining sector is the largest energy user in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. In Tasmania the manufacturing and transport sectors are among the largest energy users. The fuel mix varied between states and territories. New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland consumed the most amount of coal in the state’s total energy consumption while Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia consumed the largest amount of gas in 2013–14 in their energy mix. Renewable energy dominated Tasmania’s total energy consumption. ENERGY IN AUSTRALIA 2015 31
