The calorific value of a fuel is the quantity of heat produced by its combustion – at constant pressure and under “normal” conditions of temperature and pressure ( 0 degrees C and under a pressure of 1,013 mbar).

For natural gas, the calorific value (CV) is a measure of heating power and is dependent upon the composition of the gas. The CV refers to the amount of energy released when a known volume of gas is completely combusted under specified conditions. The CV of gas, which is dry, gross and measured at standard conditions of temperature and pressure, is usually quoted in megajoules per cubic metre (MJ/m3).
