Fuel Oil Equivalent @barrel (Us)
Fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US) (foe) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy contained in one US barrel of fuel oil, used to compare energy content across different fuels.
History/Origin
The foe unit originated in energy and fuel industries to standardize energy measurements, particularly in the context of oil and fuel consumption, and has been used since the mid-20th century for energy accounting and reporting.
Current Use
Today, foe is primarily used in energy statistics, research, and reporting to quantify and compare the energy content of fuel oils and other energy sources in a consistent manner.
Therm
A therm is a unit of energy used primarily to measure natural gas consumption, equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs).
History/Origin
The therm was introduced in the early 20th century by the American Gas Association to standardize natural gas billing and measurement; it became widely adopted in North America for energy calculations.
Current Use
Today, the therm is still used in the natural gas industry for billing and energy measurement, although other units like gigajoules and cubic meters are also common globally.
