Product Description
Oil is a natural resource and plays an important part in our everyday lives. We use oils for fuels and in cooking, and to make paints, plastics and many other substances.This book looks at where oil comes from, how we transport, process and use it, and what impact this has on our environment. Unlike vegetable oils, crude oil is a fossil fuel which will, one day, run out. The search for an alternative is, therefore, very important.
