Some Positive Climate-actions for Petroleum Oil and Its Derivatives
Petroleum Oil and its derivatives are fossil-based fuels that are used widely in cars, ships, and planes; they are also used for industry-thermal processes, heating, and in producing electricity—through burning/ combustion processes that normally generates Greenhouse Gasses (GHG), the bulk of which are Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The extraction and transport of the said Oil have also, in several occasions, sparked major conflicts and oil spills that consequently harmed the ecosystems and water quality.
