Transportation Fuels: The largest portion is refined into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel to power cars, trucks, ships, and airplanes.
Petrochemical Feedstocks: Used to produce materials for manufacturing, including plastics, synthetic rubber, and fibers for clothing.
Energy Generation: Used in power plants to generate electricity and for heating residential and industrial buildings.
Asphalt and Bitumen: The heavy, dense residue from refining is used to pave roads and make roofs waterproof.
