    • نبذة مختصرة :
      About one-quarter of the crude oil extracted globally is processed to produce gasoline, the fuel for the internal combustion engine that powers most cars, light trucks, motorcycles, and piston-engine aircraft. Refineries perform several processing steps to meet the world's demand for quantity and quality of gasoline, beginning with desalting and distilling crude oil into separate fractions. Selected fractions undergo desulfurization, cracking, reforming, and other processes. The different components gained are blended with further additives to produce various grades of gasoline. Gasoline can also be made as synthetic fuel from coal, oil sands, natural gas, and biomass.
