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.
About Kilojoules
A kilojoule (kJ) is exactly 1,000 J and is the standard energy unit for food and physical chemistry. EU, Australian, and NZ food labels are mandatory in kJ: recommended adult intake is ~8,400 kJ/day. Bond dissociation energies: C-H bond 413 kJ/mol; C=C double bond 614 kJ/mol; N≡N triple bond 945 kJ/mol. Specific heat of water: 4.184 kJ/(kg·K). A cyclist riding at 150 W for one hour expends 540 kJ. Charpy and Izod impact toughness tests record results in J and kJ. 1 kJ = 1,000 J = 239.0 cal = 0.94782 BTU = 0.27778 Wh.
