EMF is not a potential it is a potential difference. And its units are 
volts (or joules per coulomb). However since an EMF can be directly 
measured only with an infinite resistance (hence zero current) one must 
use a "bucking" EMF produced by some device that can generate a 
potential difference to measure it. And nowhere did I say or imply that 
EMF was energy. I spent years working with White double potentiometers 
to measure microvolt level EMF from a thermel (temperature differences 
in microdegrees.)
