About Kilowatt-hour (thermal)

Kilowatt-hour (thermal) is shown as a thermal-energy label and uses the same joule definition as kWh (3.6 MJ).

About Million BTU (MMBtu, IT)

MMBtu means one million IT BTU: 1,000,000 × 1,055.05585262 J. It is widely used in gas and thermal energy markets.

How to convert kilowatt-hour (thermal) to million btu (mmbtu, it)

1 kilowatt-hour (thermal) is equal to 0.00341214163313 million btu (mmbtu, it) when both are expressed in joule-equivalents:

1 kwh_th = (3,600,000 J ÷ 1,055,055,852.62 J) mmbtu = 0.00341214163313 mmbtu

Each kilowatt-hour (thermal) is defined as 3,600,000 J and each million btu (mmbtu, it) as 1,055,055,852.62 J in this tool, so one kwh_th equals 3,600,000 ÷ 1,055,055,852.62 mmbtu = 0.00341214163313 mmbtu.

Let d(kwh_th) be the numeric amount in Kilowatt-hour (thermal) (kwh_th), and d(mmbtu) the amount in Million BTU (MMBtu, IT) (mmbtu). Then:

d(mmbtu) = d(kwh_th) × (3,600,000 / 1,055,055,852.62)

Equivalently, divide by how many kwh_th fit into one mmbtu (joules per mmbtu divided by joules per kwh_th):

d(mmbtu) = d(kwh_th) ÷ 293.07107017222222

Or: million btu (mmbtu, it) = kilowatt-hour (thermal) ÷ 293.07107017222222

Examples

Example #1: Convert 1 kwh_th to million btu (mmbtu, it)

1 kwh_th = 1 kwh_th × (3,600,000/1,055,055,852.62) mmbtu = 0.0034121416 mmbtu

1 kwh_th = 1 kwh_th ÷ 293.07107017222222 = 0.0034121416 mmbtu

Example #2: Convert 10 kwh_th to million btu (mmbtu, it)

10 kwh_th = 10 kwh_th × (3,600,000/1,055,055,852.62) mmbtu = 0.0341214163 mmbtu

10 kwh_th = 10 kwh_th ÷ 293.07107017222222 = 0.0341214163 mmbtu

Summary

To convert Kilowatt-hour (thermal) to Million BTU (MMBtu, IT), multiply the value in kwh_th by the ratio of joules per kwh_th divided by joules per mmbtu. Equivalently: value_mmbtu = value_kwh_th × (3600000 / 1055055852.62). Numerically, 1 kwh_th equals 0.003412141633127942 mmbtu.

Relationship context

You are converting between electrical energy (watt-hours) (Kilowatt-hour (thermal)) and US / imperial engineering units (BTU, therm, ft·lb) (Million BTU (MMBtu, IT)). All values are mapped through joules first. The numeric factor is 3.412142e-3.
