 ====Burning Energetic Graphite====

 ====Conclusion====
 The increased effort of smelting Energetic Graphite from Coal results in ~0.5 MW less net power production.
+===Crude Oil vs. Refined Oil vs. X-Ray Cracking vs. Hydrogen Rods===
+[[Crude Oil]] can be converted to [[Refined Oil]] and [[Hydrogen]]. Using the [[X-Ray Cracking]] recipe, this can be converted to [[Energetic Graphite]] and Hydrogen. Finally, Hydrogen and [[Titanium Ingot|Titanium Ingots]] can be crafted to [[Hydrogen Fuel Rod|Hydrogen Fuel Rods]].
+====Assumptions====
+* One Crude Oil Seep producing 1.5 Oil/s.
+* No [[Veins Utilization_(Upgrade)|Veins Utilization]] upgrade.
+====Burning Crude Oil====
+* Crude Oil production: 1.5 Oil/s.
+* Energy content: 1.5 Crude Oil * 4 MJ = 6 MJ.
+* Number of Power Stations needed to burn 1.5 Oil/s: 6 MJ * 0.8 / 2.16 MW = 2 Stations.
+* Power production: 2 Stations * 2.16 MW = 4.32 MW.
+* Power consumption:
+# [[Oil Extractor]]: 1 * 840 kW = 0.84 MW.
+# Sorters (1 per Station): 2 * 18 kW = 0.036 MW.
+* Net power production: 4.32 MW - 0.84 MW - 0.036 MW = '''3.444 MW'''.
+====Burning Refined Oil And Hydrogen====
+* Refining 1.5 Crude Oil/s needs 3 [[Oil Refinery|Oil Refineries]] and results in 1.5 Refined Oil/s and 0.75 Hydrogen/s.
+* Energy content: 1.5 Refined Oil * 4.4 MJ = 6.6 MJ.
+* Energy content: 0.75 Hydrogen * 8 MJ = 6 MJ.
+* Number of Power Stations needed to burn 1.5 Refined Oil/s: 6.6 MJ * 0.8 / 2.16 MW = 2 Stations.
+* Number of Power Stations needed to burn 0.75 Hydrogen/s: 6 MJ * 0.8 / 2.16 MW = 2 Stations.
+* Power production: 4 Stations * 2.16 MW = 8.64 MW.
+* Power consumption:
+# Oil Extractor: 1 * 840 kW = 0.84 MW.
+# Oil Refineries: 3 * 960 kW = 2.88 MW.
+# Sorters (3 per Refinery, 1 per Station): 13 * 18 kW = 0.234 MW.
+* Net power production: 8.64 MW - 0.84 MW - 2.88 MW - 0.234 MW = '''4.686 MW'''.
+====Burning Energetic Graphite And Hydrogen (X-Ray Cracking)====
+* Cracking 1.5 Refined Oil/s needs 6 [[Oil Refinery|Oil Refineries]] and results in 1.5 Graphite/s and 1.5 extra Hydrogen/s (2.25 Hydrogen/s in total).
+* Energy content: 1.5 Graphite * 6.3 MJ = 9.45 MJ.
+* Energy content: 2.25 Hydrogen * 8 MJ = 18 MJ.
+* Number of Power Stations needed to burn 1.5 Graphite/s: 9.45 MJ * 0.8 / 2.16 MW = 3 Stations.
+* Number of Power Stations needed to burn 2.25 Hydrogen/s: 18 MJ * 0.8 / 2.16 MW = 6 Stations.
+* Power production: 9 Stations * 2.16 MW = 19.44 MW.
+* Power consumption:
+# Oil Extractor: 1 * 840 kW = 0.84 MW.
+# Oil Refineries: 9 * 960 kW = 8.64 MW.
+# Sorters (3 per Refined Oil, 4 per X-Ray, 1 per Station): 42 * 18 kW = 0.756 MW.
+* Net power production: 19.44 MW - 0.84 MW - 8.64 MW - 0.756 MW = '''9.204 MW'''.
+====Burning Energetic Graphite And Hydrogen Fuel Rods (With X-Ray Cracking)====
+* Crafting [[Hydrogen Fuel Rod|Hydrogen Fuel Rods]] from 2.25 Hydrogen/s needs 1 Mining Machine for [[Titanium Ore]], 1 Smelter for [[Titanium Ingot|Titanium Ingots]] and 2 [[Assembling Machine Mk.I|Assemblers]] for the Fuel Rods, and results in 0.45 Fuel Rods/s (5 Hydrogen per Fuel Rod).
+* Energy content: 1.5 Graphite * 6.3 MJ = 9.45 MJ.
+* Energy content: 0.45 Fuel Rods * 50 MJ = 22.5 MJ.
+* Number of Power Stations needed to burn 1.5 Graphite/s: 9.45 MJ * 0.8 / 2.16 MW = 3 Stations.
+* Number of Power Stations needed to burn 0.45 Fuel Rods/s: 22.5 MJ * 0.8 / 2.16 MW = 8 Stations.
+* Power production: 11 Stations * 2.16 MW = 23.76 MW.
+* Power consumption:
+# Oil Extractor: 1 * 840 kW = 0.84 MW.
+# Oil Refineries: 9 * 960 kW = 8.64 MW.
+# Mining Machines: 1 * 420 kW = 0.42 MW.

+Refined Oil: 4.686 MW.
+X-Ray Cracking: 9.204 MW.
