Impact
Petroleum's impact extends beyond energy—it shapes our economy, environment, and daily life in profound ways.
Environmental Impact
Petroleum production and consumption contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Oil spills and extraction processes can damage ecosystems and biodiversity.
However, compared to coal, natural gas produces fewer emissions when burned, making it a transitional fuel as we move toward renewable energy sources.
