Comparison of Calorific Values, the following equations produce the same amount of heat:
| 1 cubic meter of natural gas = 9.8 degrees of electricity |
| 1 cubic meter of natural gas = 14KG of steam |
| 1 cubic meter of natural gas = 1.2KG of coal |
| 1 cubic meter of natural gas = 0.96KG of heavy oil |
| 1 cubic meter of natural gas = 0.94KG of diesel |
| 1 cubic meter of natural gas = 0.88KG of liquefied petroleum gas |
| 1 cubic meter of natural gas = 1.22KG of dimethyl ether |
| 1 degree of electricity = 0.1 cubic meter of natural gas |
| 1 degree of electricity = 1.4KG of steam |
| 1 degree of electricity = 0.12KG of coal |
| 1 degree of electricity = 0.1KG of heavy oil |
| 1 degree of electricity = 0.09KG of diesel |
| 1 degree of electricity = 0.09KG of liquefied petroleum gas |
| 1 degree of electricity = 0.12KG of dimethyl ether |
1KG of steam = 0.698 degrees of electricity
1KG of steam = 0.071 cubic meter of natural gas
