What does one kilogram-force centimeter represent in energy terms?

It represents the work done by a force of one kilogram-force moving through a distance of one centimeter, equal to 0.0980665 joules.

What is the therm (EC) unit used for?

Therm (EC) is used primarily for billing and metering natural gas consumption and reporting energy statistics in some European contexts.

Why is the conversion result from kilogram-force centimeter to therm (EC) so small?

Because kilogram-force centimeters measure small mechanical energies and therm (EC) measures large quantities of energy, the conversion factor is extremely low.
