Higher Heating Values of Natural Gases From Various Sources
The International Energy Agency reports the following typical higher heating values:
- Algeria: 42,000 kJ/m³
- Bangladesh: 36,000 kJ/m³
- Canada: 38,200 kJ/m³
- Indonesia: 40,600 kJ/m³
- Netherlands: 33,320 kJ/m³
- Norway: 39,877 kJ/m³
- Pakistan: 34,900 kJ/m³
- Russia: 38,231 kJ/m³
- Saudi Arabia: 38,000 kJ/m³
- United Kingdom: 39,710 kJ/m³
- United States: 38,416 kJ/m³
- Uzbekistan: 37,889 kJ/m³
The lower heating value of natural gas is normally about 90 percent of its higher heating val.

Famous quotes containing the words higher, heating, values, natural, gases and/or sources:
“[O]ur people are steadily increasing their spending for higher standards of living ... the slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“If the factory people outside the colleges live under the discipline of narrow means, the people inside live under almost every other kind of discipline except that of narrow means—from the fruity austerities of learning, through the iron rations of English gentlemanhood, down to the modest disadvantages of occupying cold stone buildings without central heating and having to cross two or three quadrangles to take a bath.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
“We must be physicists in order ... to be creative since so far codes of values and ideals have been constructed in ignorance of physics or even in contradiction to physics.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“We have become unsure of the rules and unsure of our roles. Parenting, like brain surgery, is now all-consuming, fraught with anxiety, worry, and self-doubt. We have allowed what used to be simple and natural to become bewildering and intimidating.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“The bird is not in its ounces and inches, but in its relations to Nature; and the skin or skeleton you show me, is no more a heron, than a heap of ashes or a bottle of gases into which his body has been reduced, is Dante or Washington.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Even healthy families need outside sources of moral guidance to keep those tensions from imploding—and this means, among other things, a public philosophy of gender equality and concern for child welfare. When instead the larger culture aggrandizes wife beaters, degrades women or nods approvingly at child slappers, the family gets a little more dangerous for everyone, and so, inevitably, does the larger world.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)
