    This document provides tables of data comparing the heating values, CO2 emissions, and equivalent CO2 emissions of various energy sources. Table 1 shows the higher and lower heating values of gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels in units of MJ per kg or m3. Table 2 converts these values to kWh per kg or m3. Table 3 gives the specific CO2 emissions per kg of fuel and per kWh of energy content. Table 4 lists the equivalent CO2 emissions of different fuels in various countries per kWh of higher heating value fuel. Graphic 1 shows the CO2-eq emissions of electricity production per kWhe for different energy sources.
