Refineries in the Americas produce a greater share of gasoline per barrel of crude oil than refineries in other world regions

Green Car Congress

The International Energy Agency’s Monthly Oil Statistics shows that there are differences in refinery output throughout the world. In the Americas, gasoline accounted for just above 40% of the products refined from petroleum in 2019, while in Europe and Asia Oceania, gasoline was less than 20%.

New Nanocatalyst Could Improve Efficiency of Gasoline Production

Green Car Congress

The new nanoparticle-based catalyst could help oil refineries make the process of manufacturing gasoline more efficient, reduce the impact on the environment, and produce higher-octane gasoline. We have a way to make a better catalyst that will improve the fuels they make right now. Kiely, Israel E.
