Hydrocarbon Liquids

Hydrocarbon liquids are fuels composed mainly of carbon and hydrogen atoms, derived from sources like crude oil and natural gas. They include fuels such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and kerosene, which are essential for transportation, heating, and industrial processes. These liquids are produced through refining processes and are valued for their high energy content and ease of transportation. However, burning hydrocarbon liquids releases carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change. They are a cornerstone of the global energy system but are also explored for alternative and renewable energy sources to reduce environmental impact.
