  2. Food energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_energy

    According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the average minimum energy requirement per person per day is about 7,500 kJ (1,800 kcal). [22] Although the U.S. has changed over time with a growth in population and processed foods or food in general, Americans today have available roughly the same level of calories as ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_food...

    According to the FAO, the average minimum daily energy requirement is approximately 8,400 kilojoules (2,000 kcal) per adult and 4,200 kilojoules (1,000 kcal) a child. [3] This data is presented in kilojoules, as most countries today use the SI unit kilojoules as their primary measurement for food energy intake, [ 4 ] with the exception of the ...

  4. Natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas

    The natural gas transmission lines extend to the natural gas processing plant or unit which removes the higher-molecular weight hydrocarbons to produce natural gas with energy content between 35–39 megajoules per cubic metre (950–1,050 British thermal units per cubic foot). The processed natural gas may then be used for residential ...

  5. Energy content of biofuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_content_of_biofuel

    The energy content of biofuel is the chemical energy contained in a given biofuel, measured per unit mass of that fuel, as specific energy, or per unit of volume of the fuel, as energy density. A biofuel is a fuel produced from recently living organisms. Biofuels include bioethanol, an alcohol made by fermentation —often used as a gasoline ...

    The data are given in kilograms of oil equivalent per year, and gigajoules per year, and in watts, as average equivalent power. Notes on conversions. 1 kg of oil equivalent (kgoe) = 11.63 kWh or 1 kWh = 0.08598 kgoe [2] 1000 kgoe = 42 GJ; 1 GJ/a = 31.7 W average; 1 W average = 8.76 kWh per year (365 × 24 Wh per year)

  7. Renewable natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_natural_gas

    Renewable natural gas. Renewable natural gas (RNG), also known as biomethane, is a renewable fuel and biogas which has been upgraded to a quality similar to fossil natural gas and has a methane concentration of 90% or greater. [ 1 ] By removing CO2 and other impurities from biogas, and increasing the concentration of methane to a level similar ...

  8. Haber process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process

    The Haber process, [1] also called the Haber–Bosch process, is the main industrial procedure for the production of ammonia. [2][3] It converts atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) to ammonia (NH 3) by a reaction with hydrogen (H 2) using a finely divided iron metal catalyst: This reaction is slightly favorable in terms of enthalpy, but is disfavored in ...
