fJ = EJ × 1.000000000e+33
About Exajoules
An exajoule (EJ) is 10¹⁸ J - the scale of global energy consumption. World primary energy supply in 2022 was ~580-610 EJ: coal ~160 EJ; oil ~190 EJ; gas ~145 EJ; nuclear ~26 EJ; wind ~8 EJ; solar PV ~8 EJ. Global electricity generation of ~29,000 TWh = 104 EJ. Solar energy incident on Earth's atmosphere is ~5.5 × 10⁶ EJ/year - approximately 9,000× total human demand. Annual fossil fuel combustion releases ~490 EJ/year, producing ~36.8 Gt CO₂. 1 EJ = 10¹⁸ J = 277.78 TWh = 238.85 Mtoe.
About Femtojoules
A femtojoule (fJ) is 10⁻¹⁵ J - the scale of gamma-ray photons, molecular motor work, and state-of-the-art digital logic. The electron rest-mass energy is 81.87 fJ; a 100 keV X-ray photon carries 16.02 fJ. A single myosin II motor protein power stroke dissipates ~5-40 fJ. ATP hydrolysis under cellular conditions yields ~80-100 fJ of free energy. Advanced 3 nm CMOS gates switch at ~0.1-1 fJ per operation. Ultrafast fiber laser oscillators produce pulses of 0.1-10 fJ before amplification. 1 fJ = 10⁻¹⁵ J = 6.242 keV.
