Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
GJ/kg = kWh/kg × 0.0036

Multiply any value in kilowatt-hours per kilogram by 0.0036 to obtain the value in gigajoules per kilogram.

Worked example

Convert 1000 kWh/kg to GJ/kg.

  1. 01Start with 1000 kWh/kg.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.0036 = 3.6 GJ/kg.
Result1000 kWh/kg = 3.6 GJ/kg

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kWh/kg to GJ/kg?
1 kWh/kg equals 0.0036 GJ/kg. To convert, multiply the value in kilowatt-hours per kilogram by 0.0036.
How do I convert 1 kWh/kg to GJ/kg?
1 kWh/kg = 0.0036 GJ/kg. For any value, multiply by 0.0036.
How do I convert GJ/kg back to kWh/kg?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 277.7778. So 1 GJ/kg = 277.778 kWh/kg.
When would I need to convert kilowatt-hour per kilogram to gigajoule per kilogram?
Specific-energy conversions between kWh/kg and GJ/kg are needed in fuel-property datasheets (HHV/LHV), thermodynamic state calculations, battery energy-density comparisons, and combustion analysis. kJ/kg is the SI standard; BTU/lb is common in US fuel specifications.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
