The quantity of heat in Btu produced by the complete combustion in dry air of one standard cubic foot of dry ideal gas and the condensation of all the water formed, with the initial and final temperature and pressure being 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 14.696 psia respectively. Usually contrasted with Net Heating Value

Total consumption of a particular energy source(s) or fuel(s) by a group of buildings, divided by the total floor space of those buildings

The sum of the net electricity production supplied by Israel Electric and the amount of Israel Electric’s self-consumption necessary for operating the electricity production units to produce the net electricity supplied by Israel Electric.

The amount of heat released by a specific quantity of fuel. The gross heating value of a fuel is defined as the amount of heat released by a specified quantity (initially at 25°C) once it is combusted and the products have returned to a temperature of 25°C. The difference between the higher heating value and the lower heating value depends on the chemical composition of the fuel. In the case of pure carbon or carbon dioxide, both heating values are almost identical. See also higher heating value and lower heating value of natural gas.

The layout of an electricity utility’s transmission and distribution network

Gases that keep the earth’s surface warmer than it would otherwise

The term Greenfield in the context of energy markets is described to define markets that are at their initial stages of development. A Greenfield market in the natural gas economy would thus be one with a limited number of gas suppliers, few consumers, not fully developed infrastructure (such as transmission and distribution systems), lack of experience, lack of a body of professionals, a dearth of relevant legislation, etc. At the other end of the spectrum we have a mature market place or a brownfield
