As for Coal-to-Energetic-Graphite above, we can do some quick math of the energy difference from converting the different stages of fuel to their next possible outcome. Note that for each case, if your system is not perfectly balanced to maximize factory usage, each second spent idle is extra energy lost and the results given are only an upper bound of the best you could get, but you most likely will get less. | As for Coal-to-Energetic-Graphite above, we can do some quick math of the energy difference from converting the different stages of fuel to their next possible outcome.

Burning Fire Ice directly in the Thermal Power Station is more efficient than converting it to Hydrogen or Hydrogen Fuel Rods. Unless you need extra graphene from Fire Ice, this is highly discouraged. | Burning Fire Ice directly in the Thermal Power Station is more efficient than converting it to Hydrogen or Hydrogen Fuel Rods.
