Motor gasoline

CPC v2.1 Code: 33311

About motor gasoline

cpc code 33311 covers the production and distribution of motor gasoline, a critical fuel for the transportation industry. As a refined petroleum product, motor gasoline is essential for powering passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, and other internal combustion engines. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, enabling the movement of goods and people that underpins economic activity.

Production process

Motor gasoline is produced through the refining of crude oil. The key steps involve distillation to separate the various hydrocarbon components, followed by catalytic cracking and reforming processes to increase the octane rating and improve combustion properties. Blending with additives such as ethanol may also occur to meet regulatory requirements and enhance performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the motor gasoline industry include crude oil, which is the raw material, as well as specialized refining equipment, catalysts, and other chemicals used in the various processing stages. Significant energy inputs, such as natural gas or electricity, are also required to power the refining facilities.

Production outputs

The main output of this industry is finished motor gasoline, which is then distributed through pipelines, trucks, and other transportation modes to retail gas stations and commercial/industrial consumers. Other related 33312 Aviation gasoline and 33313 Kerosene-type jet fuel may also be produced as part of the broader refining process.
