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)
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?
