Hydrogen Analysis Resource Center: Energy Equivalency of Fuels

The table below shows the amount of each fuel necessary to provide the same energy as 1 kg of hydrogen, 1 million cubic feet natural gas, 1 barrel of crude oil,
or 1 gallon of other fuels, based on lower heating values.
U.S.
Conventional Reformulated Low-Sulfur
Hydrogen Natural Gas Crude Oil California RFG Conventional
Gasoline Gasoline (RFG) Diesel
Diesel
(kg) (million cubic feet) (barrel) (gallon) (gallon) (gallon) (gallon) (gallon)
Hydrogen, 1 kg = 1 0.000117 0.0211 0.992 1.014 1.011 0.896 0.889
Natural Gas, 1 million cubic feet = 8538 1 180.5 8468 8653 8628 7653 7591
Crude Oil, 1 barrel = 47.30 0.00554 1 46.91 47.94 47.80 42.40 42.06
Conventional Gasoline, 1 gallon = 1.008 0.000118 0.0213 1 1.022 1.019 0.904 0.897
Reformulated Gasoline (RFG), 1 gallon = 0.987 0.000116 0.0209 0.979 1 0.997 0.884 0.877
California RFG, 1 gallon = 0.989 0.000116 0.0209 0.981 1.003 1 0.887 0.880
U.S. Conventional Diesel, 1 gallon = 1.116 0.000131 0.0236 1.106 1.131 1.127 1 0.992
Low-Sulfur Diesel, 1 gallon = 1.125 0.000132 0.0238 1.115 1.140 1.137 1.008 1

Note:
The following unit conversion factors are used in the calculations:
1 kg = 2.2046 lb
1 barrel = 42 gallons
