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 Nanojoules
A nanojoule (nJ) is 10⁻⁹ J - the scale of ultrashort laser pulses, flash memory write operations, and cellular ATP reserves. A Ti:sapphire laser oscillator produces pulses of 1-20 nJ at 80 MHz. Flash NAND programming costs ~1-10 nJ/bit written; a read is ~0.1 nJ/bit. The total ATP energy stored in a single red blood cell is ~1-5 nJ. The kinetic energy of a 1 µg particle at 1.4 m/s is ~1 nJ, illustrating that nanojoules describe real nanoscale mechanical events. 1 nJ = 10⁻⁹ J.
