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 Kilojoule per litre
The kilojoule per litre (kJ/L) equals exactly 10⁶ J/m³ = 1 MJ/m³ (since 1 L = 10⁻³ m³). The preferred notation in fuel chemistry and food science for volumetric energy content. Gasoline ≈ 34.2 MJ/L, diesel ≈ 35.8 MJ/L, ethanol ≈ 23.4 MJ/L, LPG ≈ 25.5 MJ/L. 1 kJ/L = 1 MJ/m³ = 10⁶ J/m³.
