The Science
The 'calorific value' of a fuel is the quantity of heat produced when it is burning. This may also be measured using a British Thermal Unit (Btu) which is the equivalent of 252 heat 'calories' - not to be confused with the kilo-calories of food.
The chart displayed shows the heat calories used when burning fuel to heat one pound of water from 0°C to 1°C
