The light olefins ethylene, propylene, and butylene—usually made from petroleum—are key building blocks for chemical industry, and are starting materials for making plastics, synthetic fibers, and coatings. This could make it more attractive to make olefins from alternative sources of carbon, such as biomass, natural gas, or coal.
