🛢️ Light Crude Oil: Characteristics and Refining Value<br />Eng. Nourhan Thamer Assi.<br /><br />✅ Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy<br />✅ Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure<br />✅ Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production<br /><br />Light crude oil is one of the most valuable types of crude in global markets. It has a high API gravity (above 35° API) and contains a high proportion of light hydrocarbons, making it easier and more cost-effective to refine into clean products such as gasoline and diesel.<br />Due to its lower levels of impurities like sulfur and heavy metals, light crude requires less intensive processing, resulting in fewer emissions and higher operational efficiency in refineries.<br />🌍 Sustainability Note:<br />Relying on light crude contributes to cleaner energy production and reduced environmental impact compared to heavier crude oils.<br />Al-Mustaqbal University The First University in Iraq<br /><br />
