Refined petroleum products are derivatives obtained from the processing of crude oil in refineries. They are formed when crude oil undergoes various refining processes, including distillation, cracking, and treating, to meet specific requirements and standards. Refined petroleum products include various types, such as gasoline (petrol), diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, and lubricating oils. They are utilized in diverse sectors, such as transportation, industrial operations, residential heating, electricity generation, and agriculture. Refined petroleum products offer key benefits including efficiency in power generation, ease of transport, application versatility, consistent energy output, and adaptability in various engines and machines. Moreover, they offer a well-established distribution network, affordability compared to alternatives, immediate energy release upon combustion, and the ability to be stored for long durations without significant degradation.
