Since joule is a very small unit of heat energy, so the calorific value is usually expressed as kilojoules per gram (kJ/g). hydrogen gas has the highest calorific value of 150 kilojoules per gram. Thus, because of its high calorific value, hydrogen is an extremely good fuel. Most of the common fuels are the compounds of hydrogen and carbon called 'hydrocarbons'. LPG has a higher percentage of hydrogen than coal, so “PG has a higher calorific value than coal.
