It is the amount of heat produced by the complete combustion of a unit weight of fuel.
Usually expressed in calories per gram or BTU's (British Thermal Units) per
pound, the latter being numerically 1.8 times the former.

The higher calorific value of diesel oil is 44,800 kj/kg and 19,300 btu/lb. The lower calorific value of diesel oil is 43,400 kj/kg.

The calorific value of one litre of extra light oil amounts to 10 kWh, as does the calorific value of 1m3 of gas. It is therefore true that: 2kg pellets ~ 1 litre extra light oil ~ 1m3 gas. In terms of price pellets do significantly better than oil and LPG.
No. 6 fuel oil has a combustion value of 151,300 - 155,900 Btu/US gallon.
Hi there, It should around 44 Mj/Kg.
#2 fueloil is 140,000btu per gal. Propane is about 79,000btu per gal. check with local propane supplier but 78k-79k per gal rings my bell. geterdone
There are multiple methods of determining the heating value of fuels dependant upon the compounds present. Generally either the constituents and quantities of the compounds in the fuel are determined and the known heating value of each compound is used to determine heating value of the fuel; or a total calorific measurement can be made.
