refinación de petróleo

Refinación de petróleo es el proceso de tomar el petróleo crudo y convertirlo en combustibles como la gasolina y el diesel. El petróleo crudo varía en su composición, que consiste en hidrocarburos y otros compuestos orgánicos que contienen nitrógeno, oxígeno y azufre. Refinación de petróleo requiere de energía y emisiones de contaminantes químicos a la atmósfera. Sin embargo, la mayor parte del CO2 producido por el petróleo se emite sólo una vez que se ha convertido en el combustible y quemados luego.
