This document provides thermal equivalents in kilocalories and British thermal units for various solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels. It lists the thermal output per unit of mass or volume for fuels like bituminous coal, anthracite coal, lignite, wood, residual fuel oil, distillate fuel oil, natural gas, butane, and propane. The thermal equivalents can be used to compare the energy content of different fuels.
