About this document
Fossil Fuel Quality Data for Power Industry by Sterling is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This table shows the average quality and energy content of fossil fuels used by the US electric power industry from 2008 to 2018. Over this period, the sulfur and ash content of coal generally increased while the energy content in Btu/lb decreased. Petroleum fuels like fuel oil had decreasing energy content in Btu/gallon but fluctuating and generally higher sulfur content. Natural gas maintained a consistent high energy content of around 1,000-1,034 Btu/cubic foot while keeping low and steady sulfur and ash
