It has long been known that domestically generated, clean, inexhaustible electricity could have significant positive effects on the environment and the economy. The only obstacle stopping us from committing to green energy is its costs. This narrative continues to drive us back to the use of fossil fuels despite the environmental damage. Can green energy [...]

Coal is the single largest emitter of CO2 and the largest generator of electricity; switching to low-carbon energy systems presents a unique challenge. New clean energy coal technologies are being developed to address this issue so that future generations can use the vast coal resources of the world without contributing to climate change. A significant [...]

The issue of climate change is, at its core, an energy production issue. Burning fossil fuels to generate electricity and heat accounts for a significant portion of the greenhouse gases that cover the Earth and trap the sun’s heat. The anticipated growth of the use of renewable energy worldwide is enough for us to claim [...]

Petrochemicals are chemical substances made with natural gases and refined petroleum. They are everywhere and are essential to modern societies. They include plastics, fertilizers, packaging, clothing, digital devices, medical equipment, detergents, tires, and much more. They are also present in numerous components of contemporary energy systems, such as batteries, solar panels, wind turbine blades, thermal [...]

The petrochemical industry is wide and large. It’s involved in most industries in our economies. Petrochemicals are essential in producing most of our daily commodities, including agricultural and nutritional goods. They are defined as chemical compounds created from natural gases and petroleum (crude oil) extraction. Petrochemicals play a pivotal role in key processes in the [...]

Have you ever wondered how your tires, cosmetics, and plastics are made? Those are just a few of the many goods produced through petrochemical engineering. This branch of engineering deals with the chemical substance of petrochemicals. These are derived from a combination of crude oil and natural gases that create petrochemical derivatives that are used [...]

A fast-paced society requires fast-paced production. That’s why cost-effective solutions like petroleum and petrochemicals are used to produce our daily necessities. Petroleum, also known as crude oil, is derived from fossil dating from millions of years that go through intense heat and pressure to be transformed into carbon-rich substances that are used as fuel and raw [...]

Today’s enormous demand for daily necessities is followed by mass production and the need for cost-effective and rapid solutions. The transition to less costly and environmentally friendly production processes is slowly taking place, starting with petrochemicals. Petrochemicals are chemical substances produced through the process of petrochemistry that can be found in most of our goods [...]

Beneficiation holds significant significance due to its ability to capture added value from minerals by processing them locally before they are exported. Coal beneficiation deserves our attention as it’s heavily used in the petrochemical industry as well as electricity production. Petrochemicals are chemical substances derived from fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal. They are [...]
