Ton Of Oil Equivalent

The ton of oil equivalent ('''TOE''') is a unit for measuring Energy . It corresponds to 10 Gcal_th or 41.868 GJ , or 11.63 MWh . It is the rounded-off amount of energy that would be produced by burning one Metric Ton of Crude Oil . Since crude oil of different provenance will have a different chemical make-up and therefore give off varying amounts of heat when burnt, the value is conventional to a certain extent.

The TOE is commonly used for large amounts of Energy , since it may be easier to understand in a practical context than the proper SI unit for energy, the Joule .

A Barrel Of Oil Equivalent (BOE), also a unit of energy, contains approximately 0.146 TOE (i.e. there are approximately 6.841 BOE in a TOE).

A GTOE (gigaton of oil equivalent) is 1,000,000,000 tons of oil equivalent.

Note that some organisations use other conversion factors, such as:

One TOE is 42 GJ

One TOE is 7.11, 7.33, or 7.4 barrels of oil equivalent

One ton petroleum equivalent (TPE), a Parameter used in Renewable Energy , 10,800,000,000 cal_IT (45.217 Gigajoule s).
