An appendix is presented of British thermal unit conversion factors.

The article focuses on greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), and their sources, primarily from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes. It also addresses the accounting treatment of CO2 emissions from biomass energy combustion and the potential implications for understanding emissions within energy and non-energy systems.

The article provides a report on the thermal conversion factors for estimating the heat content in British thermal units (Btu) of various energy sources, including petroleum and biofuels. Topics include the heat content rates, differences between gross and net heat content rates, and the sources of the conversion factors for different fuel types.

An appendix is presented of British thermal unit conversion factors including approximate heat content of petroleum, biofuels, petroleum production, imports and exports, petroleum consumption, fuel ethanol, natural gas, coal and coal coke, approximate heat rates for electricity and heat content of electricity.

The article offers information on the British thermal unit conversion factors. Topics discussed include that the thermal conversion factors presented in the article can be used to estimate the heat content in British thermal units (Btu) of a given amount of energy measured in physical units; it also presents the approximate heat content of petroleum and natural gas; and approximate heat content of biofuels including biodiesel, biodiesel feedstock, ethanol, fuel ethanol.

The article presents thermal conversion factor data in form of table and graphs in British thermal unit (Btu). It mentions approximate heat content of petroleum and biofuels, approximate heat content of petroleum production, imports, and exports; and approximate heat content of petroleum consumption and fuel ethanol.

The article discusses the British Thermal Unit conversion factors. It mentions that the heat content rates represent the gross energy content of the fuels. Information about the approximate heat content of petroleum and natural gas liquids, including asphalt, butylene, and crude oil; biofuels, including biodiesel, ethanol, and fuel ethanol feedstock; and natural gas consumption in the electric power and the end-use sector is provided.

The article reports that Thermal conversion factors for each type were calculated on a foreign country basis, by determining the average American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity of crude oil imported from each foreign country by using National Bureau of Standards. It mentions that U.S. Energy Information Administration adopted the Bureau of Mines thermal conversion factor as reported in a Bureau of Mines internal memorandum.

The article discusses thermal conversion factors to estimate the heat content in British thermal units of a given amount of energy measured in physical units. Topics mentioned include gross energy content of the fuels, the amount of energy that is consumed to vaporize water during the combustion process, and approximate heat content of petroleum and biofuels.

The article offers information on thermal conversion factors, are used to estimate the heat content in British thermal units (Btu) of a given amount of energy measured in physical units, such as barrels or cubic feet. Topic include U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) adopted the thermal conversion factor of 6.636 million British thermal units (Btu) per barrel as estimated by the Bureau of Mines and first published in the Petroleum Statement.

An appendix is presented of British Thermal Unit Conversion Factors, which used to estimate the heat content in British thermal units (Btu) of a given amount of energy measured in physical units.
