Petroleum coke, also known as pet coke, is a byproduct of the oil refining process, derived from both light and heavy crude oils. In addition to common products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, petroleum coke is another valuable product extracted from crude oil. First produced in the 1930s, pet coke has become a key commercial product used in a variety of industries, including aluminum manufacturing, fuels, steel, glass, paint, and fertilizers. It is also widely utilized as a fuel in power generation, cement production, and various other industrial applications.
