U.S. heat content of residual fuel oil 1960-2016
The statistic represents the heat content of residual fuel oil in the U.S. between 1960 and 2016. 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). In 2014, the heat content of residual fuel was approximately 590 trillion British thermal units.
