About Electronvolts
An electronvolt (eV) is the kinetic energy gained by one electron accelerated through 1 volt - exactly 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ J (fixed by the 2019 SI revision). It is the natural energy unit of atomic and particle physics: visible light photons carry 1.7-3.1 eV; hydrogen ionisation requires 13.6 eV; X-ray photons span 100 eV-100 keV; protons at the LHC reach 6.5 TeV. Rest masses use eV/c²: electron 0.511 MeV, proton 938.3 MeV, Higgs boson 125 GeV. Nuclear binding energy peaks at ~8 MeV/nucleon for iron-56. 1 eV = 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ J.
About Ton of Oil Equivalent
A ton of oil equivalent (toe) is the IEA standard for comparing primary energy sources - defined as exactly 41.868 GJ (= 10⁷ International Table kcal). IEA World Energy Balances report in Mtoe: global primary energy supply is ~580 EJ ≈ 13,860 Mtoe/year. One tonne of coal equivalent (tce) = 29.307 GJ = 0.7 toe. Natural gas: ~0.9 toe per 1,000 m³; one barrel of crude oil ≈ 0.136 toe. Average EU citizen uses ~3.0-3.5 toe/year for all energy needs. 1 toe = 41.868 GJ = 11.63 MWh = 39.683 MBTU.
