MegaJoule


Explanation:
In context of the industry this would be MegaJoule... Natural gas is delivered in volume, which is translated to MegaJoules. Just the "(hod)" does not fit in there, as "hod" stands for "hour(s)" and I am not sure why would a time unit be in there... More context would help.
