If rest energy e = mc^2 where m the mass of the bag is 1 kg and c is the speed of light, e ~ 9*10^16 joules. Assuming the Aubule is capable of perfect-efficiency matter-energy conversion, creating this bag would require the equivalent of around 1% of the amount of solar radiation absorbed by the Earth in one second, or about two weeks' output of a typical nuclear power plant.
