Petroleum refiners rely heavily on refining byproducts as energy sources. These include refinery gas (byproduct of distillation, cracking, and other processes), petroleum coke, and other oil byproducts. About 6% of energy consumed by the industry for heat and power is provided by byproduct fuels. About 50% of the total energy used by refineries is petroleum feedstocks used to produce non-fuel products. [MECS 1994]
