What does one gigajoule represent?

One gigajoule (GJ) is an SI-derived unit of energy equal to one billion joules, commonly used to express large thermal, mechanical, or chemical energy amounts.

Where is therm (EC) primarily used?

Therm (EC) is mainly used in some European countries for billing, metering natural gas consumption, and reporting regional energy statistics.

Why convert from gigajoule to therm (EC)?

Conversion allows translation of large-scale scientific energy values into units commonly used in European gas billing and heating system assessments.
