Convert Terajoules to Exajoules
Convert Terajoules (TJ) to Exajoules (EJ) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
EJ = TJ × 1.000000000e-6
About Terajoules
A terajoule (TJ) is 10¹² J - the scale of nuclear yields in the kiloton range and large industrial accidents. One kiloton of TNT = 4.184 TJ; the Hiroshima bomb (15 kt) released ~62.8 TJ. The Halifax Explosion (1917) released ~3 TJ. A 500 MW coal plant consumes ~51.4 TJ/h of thermal input. Daily primary energy of Denmark is ~250-300 TJ; the UK ~3,800 TJ/day. A 1 GW nuclear reactor at 90% capacity factor generates ~77.7 TJ/day. 1 TJ = 10¹² J = 277,778 kWh = 277.78 MWh = 23.88 ktoe.
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.
