Petroleum, or crude oil, is a highly flammable yellowish-black liquid that has been formed by dead algae and plankton becoming buried under sedimentary rock and exposed to extreme pressure and temperature. | |||
Petroleum, when refined, is turned into a wide range of products, including but not limited to: | |||
* Fuel (Gasoline, diesel, kerosene, propane, butane, etc) | |||
* Plastics | |||
* Ceramics | |||
* Petroleum jelly | |||
* Fertilizers | |||
* Pesticides | |||
* Adhesives | |||
* Asphalt | |||
The first evidence of petroleum usage by humans was over 4000 years ago when according to Greek historian Herodotus, asphalt was used as a construction material by Babylon. Similarly, ancient Persian clay tablets stated that petroleum was used as medicine and lighting fuel by the upper classes of ancient Persian society. | |||
As of 2019, 33.06% of global energy is derived from oil. | |||
