Barrel Of Oil Human Labor at Matilda Howard blog

Barrel Of Oil Human Labor. At 42 gallons of refined products from each barrel of oil, a gallon of gasoline represents between 2 and 14.4 days of human. Since humans can be more efficient than mechanical systems at turning muscle labor into useful work, we discount the oil by about 60%, so a barrel of oil represents about 4.5 years of human work. One barrel of oil contains about 1700 kwh of work potential. Simple arithmetic reveals it takes over 11 years of human labor to do the same work potential in a barrel of oil. 1 barrel of oil = 23,200 hours of human work output (energy equivalent of 46.4 gallons of gas per barrel of oil x 500 hours of human work. That translates to a barrel of oil. A human in peak physical condition is capable of putting out 750 btu per hour of work (we will ignore that a human can’t maintain this pace). 46 compared to an average human work day where 0.6kwh is generated, one barrel of oil, currently costing under. A barrel of oil provides the same total work as a human working full time for 11 years. My estimate, based on a comparison of cycling and cars was that the 20 gallons of gasoline/petrol extractable from one barrel of oil was. The average american uses 60+ barrels of oil equivalent(oil, gas and coal) per year (360 billion joules), which implies a fossil fuel 'slave'.
