The Hydrogen Economy: Opportunities, Costs, Barriers, and R&D Needs
Appendix H
Useful Conversions and Thermodynamic Properties
TABLE H-1 Conversion Factors
metric ton (tonne) = 1000 kg = 1.1023 short tons
Btu = 1055 J
quad = 1015 Btu = 1.055 EJ
liter = 0.2642 gallons U.S.
cubic meter (m3) = 35.31 cubic feet
conversions for hydrogen:
1 million scf/day = 2.65 short tons/day
1 kg = 11.13 N-m3 (0 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere)
1 kg = 415.6 scf (60 degrees Fahrenheit and 1 atmosphere)
NOTE: scf = standard cubic feet; Btu = British thermal unit; EJ = exajoule = 1018 joules; N-m3 = normal cubic meter; kg = kilogram.

Energy content of 1 kg hydrogen
141.9 MJ (HHV) = 39.4 kWh
120.1 MJ (LHV) = 33.3 kWh
of 1 N-m3 hydrogen
12.7 MJ (HHV)
of 1 pound of hydrogen
64.4 MJ (HHV) = 61.0 kBtu
of 1 gallon gasoline
121.3 MJ (LHV); 115,000 Btu (LHV)
NOTE: HHV = higher heating value; LHV = lower heating value; ΔH = enthalpy; J = joule; Btu = British thermal unit; M = million; k = thousand; mol = mole; N-m3 = normal cubic meter; kWh = kilowatt hour. SOURCE: NIST (2003), except DOE (2003f) for gasoline data.
