Bitumen
Bitumen is a black viscous mixture obtained for the fractional distillation of crude. It is a crucial component of the asphalt, which is used to build roads, streets and other parts of the infrastructure. It is a vital material for all sorts of construction and infrastructure projects, large and small.
Gasoline
Also called gas or petrol, mixture of volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum and used as fuel for internal-combustion engines. It is also used as a solvent for oils and fats.
Fuel Oil
Also known as heavy oil, marine fuel or furnace oil, is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue. Fuel oil is made of long hydrocarbon chains, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics.
Biofuels
Biofuel, any fuel that is derived from biomass—that is, plant or algae material or animal waste. Since such feedstock material can be replenished readily, biofuel is considered to be a source of renewable energy, unlike fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas.
