About Gigajoule per cubic metre
The gigajoule per cubic metre (GJ/m³) equals exactly 10⁹ J/m³. Used for the energy density of high-energy-density materials and liquefied fuels: LNG ≈ 22.2 GJ/m³, liquid hydrogen ≈ 8.49 GJ/m³, petrol ≈ 34.2 GJ/m³. Also useful for large-scale thermal energy storage reservoirs. 1 GJ/m³ = 10³ MJ/m³ = 10⁹ J/m³.
About International table BTU per US gallon
The international table BTU per US gallon (BTU(IT)/gal(US)) equals 1055.05585262 J / 3.785411784 × 10⁻³ m³ ≈ 278716.27 J/m³. The dominant unit in the US petroleum and fuel markets for expressing heating values - gasoline ≈ 115,000 BTU/gal, diesel ≈ 129,500 BTU/gal. 1 BTU(IT)/gal(US) ≈ 278.72 kJ/m³.
