Calorific Value :- Amount of heat energy released (in J) when 1 kg of a fuel is burnt.
Hydrogen is not used as fuel because it is explosive in nature.

Hey mate! Hope you are having a good day.
The answer to your question is...
- Calorific value is the amount of heat produced when a gram of substance is burnt. It is measured in kilo jules.
- Hydrogen is not used as a domestic fuel as it cant be transported easily.
- it catches fire easily.
- it is inflammable
- thus, it is only use when it is necessary, for example it is used as rocket fuel.
