Petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, except natural gas
CPC v2.1 Code: 334
About petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, except natural gas
cpc code 334 covers the production and distribution of petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, excluding natural gas. This industry plays a crucial role in the global energy landscape, providing essential fuel sources for a wide range of applications, from residential heating to industrial processes. The products classified under this code are vital inputs for various downstream industries, making it a significant contributor to the broader economy.
Production process
The production of petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, except natural gas, typically involves the extraction, separation, and processing of these resources from crude oil or natural gas deposits. This process often includes techniques such as fractional distillation, liquefaction, and compression to isolate and purify the desired gaseous components.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for this industry include crude oil, natural gas, and specialized processing equipment. Refineries, petrochemical plants, and other energy infrastructure play a crucial role in the production and distribution of these gaseous hydrocarbons. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, transportation networks, and regulatory frameworks to ensure the safe and efficient operation of its facilities.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of this industry are liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), propane, butane, and other gaseous hydrocarbons. These products are widely used as fuel sources for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, as well as feedstocks for the 325 Chemicals and chemical products and 324 Coke and refined petroleum products industries.
