naftakütuste

Naftakütused, also known as petroleum fuels, are derived from crude oil through a refining process. Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that is naturally occurring and formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient organisms. The refining process separates crude oil into various fractions based on their boiling points, yielding different types of fuels.

The most common naftakütused include gasoline (petrol), diesel fuel, kerosene, and fuel oil. Gasoline is primarily used as fuel for internal combustion engines in cars and light trucks. Diesel fuel powers diesel engines, commonly found in heavy-duty vehicles, buses, trains, and some cars. Kerosene is used as an aviation fuel (jet fuel) and also for lighting and heating in some regions. Fuel oil is a heavier fraction used in industrial furnaces, boilers, and ships.

The production of naftakütused is a major global industry, and their widespread use has significantly impacted transportation, industry, and economies worldwide. However, the combustion of these fuels releases greenhouse gases and other pollutants, contributing to climate change and air pollution. This has led to increased research and development into alternative, cleaner energy sources and more efficient fuel technologies.
