Fuel Oil Equivalent @kiloliter
Fuel oil equivalent (foe) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy contained in one kiloliter of fuel oil.
History/Origin
The foe has been used historically in energy and fuel industries to quantify large quantities of energy, particularly in the context of oil and energy resource assessments.
Current Use
Today, the foe is primarily used in energy statistics and reports to compare and aggregate energy consumption and production across different sources and regions.
Gigaton
A gigaton (Gton) is a unit of mass equal to one billion metric tons or 10^9 metric tons.
History/Origin
The gigaton has been used in scientific and environmental contexts to quantify large-scale phenomena such as greenhouse gas emissions and ice mass changes, gaining prominence in climate science discussions since the late 20th century.
Current Use
Currently, the gigaton is used to measure and communicate large quantities of emissions, such as annual carbon dioxide emissions from countries or sectors, and to assess changes in global ice mass and other large-scale environmental metrics.
