Kerosene
Kerosene is a transparent, flammable liquid with a slightly oily texture, obtained through the distillation of crude oil. Its versatility makes it a critical energy product across multiple sectors, including transportation, heating, aviation, and industrial applications.
Fuel Applications
Kerosene is often used as a substitute for diesel in engines operating in extreme cold conditions, such as winter or arctic climates. By blending up to 20% kerosene with standard summer diesel fuel, the pour point can be lowered without affecting engine efficiency or performance. Beyond diesel engines, kerosene serves as a primary component for jet fuels, providing high-energy density for aviation. It is also widely used as a solvent, in household heating and lighting solutions, and as a key raw material for further refining processes within the petroleum industry.
