The joule (/ dʒ uː l / JOOL, or / dʒ aʊ l / JOWL; symbol: J) is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). [1] In terms of SI base units, one joule corresponds to one kilogram-square metre per square second (1 J = 1 kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2).
This Wikipedia page provides a list of units of energy used in the template for converting measurements.
A megaton of TNT (1,000,000 tonnes) or megatonne of TNT is a unit of energy equal to 10 15 calories, also known (infrequently) as a petacalorie (Pcal), equal to 4.184 petajoules (PJ). These are small calories (cal). The large or dietary calorie (Cal) is equal to one kilocalorie (kcal), and is gradually being replaced by the latter correct term.
The table lists worldwide PE and the countries producing most (76%) of that in 2021, using Enerdata. The amounts are rounded and given in million tonnes of oil equivalent per year (1 Mtoe = 11.63 TWh (41.9 petajoules), where 1 TWh = 10 9 kWh) and % of Total. Renewable is Biomass plus Heat plus renewable percentage of Electricity production ...
According to the standard defined by the International Energy Agency, it corresponds in average to 38.2 petajoules (1.06 × 10 10 kWh) of energy in the case of Russian natural gas and 41.4 petajoules (1.15 × 10 10 kWh) of energy in the case of Qatar's natural gas. [1]
The energy contained in one megaton of TNT (4.2 PJ) is enough to power the average American household for 103,000 years. [32] The 30 Mt (130 PJ) estimated upper limit blast power of the Tunguska event could power the same average home for more than 3,100,000 years. The energy of that blast could power the entire United States for 3.27 days.
Renewable electricity was expected to make up the minor share rising from 0.5 to 1.2 PJ (0.14 to 0.33 TWh) over the period for use in electric vehicles and trains. Total electric vehicle sales in Denmark in 2015 were 4,762 units representing 2.29% of total car sales, [ 33 ] with the TESLA model S having a surge of sales at 2,736 units in a rush ...
