My apologies to the Group. Did not mean to send all that information as a precursor To the table on fuel vs. ethanol.Here it is cleaned up.
Conversion Factors Average Energy Content of Various Fuels 1 kilowatt hour of electricity = 3413 British thermal units (Btu) 1 cubic foot of natural gas = 1,008 to 1,034 Btu 1 therm of natural gas = 100,000 Btu 1 gallon of crude oil = 138,095 Btu 1 barrel of crude oil = 5,800,000 Btu 1 gallon of residual fuel oil = 149,690 Btu 1 gallon of gasoline = 125,000 Btu 1 gallon of ethanol = 84,400 Btu 1 gallon methanol = 62,800 Btu 1 gallon of gasohol (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline) = 120,900 Btu 1 gallon of E-85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) = 90,500 Btu 1 gallon of kerosene or light distillate oil = 135,000 Btu 1 gallon of middle distillate or diesel fuel oil = 138,690 Btu 1 gallon of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) = 95,475 Btu 1 pound of coal = 8,100 to 13,000 Btu 1 ton coal = 16,200,000 to 26,000,000 Btu 1 ton wood = 9,000,000 to 17,000,000 Btu 1 standard cord of wood = 18,000,000 to 24,000,000 Btu 1 face cord of wood = 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 Btu 1 pound of low pressure steam (recoverable heat) = 1,000 Btu
