Energy content of biofuel Energy content of biofuel The Energy content of biofuel is a description of the potential 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 living organisms. Biofuels include bioethanol, an alcohol made by fermentation—often used as a gasoline additive, and biodiesel, which is usually used as a diesel additive. Specific energy is energy per unit mass, which is used to describe the energy content of a fuel, expressed in SI units as joule per kilogram
Units of energy energy since energy is inversely proportional to wavelength from the equation formula_2. In discussions of energy production and consumption, the units barrel of oil equivalent and ton of oil equivalent are often used. When discussing amounts of energy released in explosions or bolide impact events, the TNT equivalent unit is often used. The British Imperial units and U.S. Customary units for both energy and work include the foot-pound force (1.3558 J), the British thermal unit (BTU) which has various values in the region of 1055 J, the horsepower-hour (2.6845 MJ), and the gasoline gallon equivalent (about 120 MJ).
