Energy Data

This document contains information about the energy content and properties of hydrogen. It provides the lower and higher heating values of hydrogen in various units, including kWh/Nm3, kWh/kg, and MJ/kg. It also lists the density, boiling point, Wobbe index, explosion and detonation limits, and diffusion coefficient of hydrogen. Comparative energy values are given for hydrogen and other common fuels like methane, gasoline and diesel. Conversion factors between various energy and pressure units are also included.
