The statistic shows U.S. heat content of petroleum and petroleum products supplied from 1960 through 2015. In 2005, the heat content of these products was approximately 40.64 quadrillion British thermal units. According to the source, heat content is defined as the amount of heat energy available to be released by the transformation or use of a specified physical unit of an energy form (e.g. a barrel of oil).
U.S. heat content of petroleum and petroleum products supplied from 1960 to 2016
(in trillion Btu)
Values from 1960 to 1970 were taken from EIA's Annual Energy Review (page 157), released in October 2011. According to the source, heat content is the amount of heat energy available to be
released by the transformation or use of a specified physical unit of an energy form (e.g., a ton of coal, a barrel of oil, a kilowatthour of electricity, a cubic foot of natural gas, or a pound of steam). The abbreviation EIA stands for Energy Information Administration.
