Basics

Chemistry that deals with crude oil (often called petrolium, hence the prefix) / Bio-Crude / Pyolysis Oil
Main use is for refined fuels such as:
- Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
- Butane
- Gasoline/Petrol
- Jet fuel
- Kerosene
- Fuel oil
- Diesel fuel
- This all varies depending on the contents of the feedstock, the conversion/reaction processes, and if anything "vents off" in transit (especially the more volitile ones)
The main use of non-distilling / fuel drying petrochemistry would be in the "Cracking" of heavier fractions like fuel oil, and below into more useful (and less polluting) lighter fractions (double check that they are less polluting, definetly easier to use)
Traditionally, and in almost all literature/discussion, the word "petrochemistry" refers to non-renewable feedstock
Perhaps make the work "Bio-Petrochemistry" to highlight this difference?
