The Solar Heat Worldwide report states "At the end of 2022 in the 72 recorded countries, the annual collector yield of all water-based solar thermal systems for the simulated applications [...] is 443 TWh (=1,594 PJ). This corresponds to a final energy savings equivalent to 47.6 million tons of oil and 150.7 million tons of CO₂." Provide a mathematical algorithm to convert TWh to energy savings and reduction in CO2. Comment on the assumptions that must be made. Provide your own estimate and comment on the result in comparison to the report.
