Let's assume all we produce is light crude.
Now, let's say we know that synthesizing biodiesel from cooking oil can be done.
Is there a way our own light crude can be used in a synthsization of a product akin to biodiesel that vehicles can use if manufactured toward that idea?
The question isn’t if it is possible. It’s if it is economically viable to do on an industrial scale.
Part of the reason why we use the fuels we do is that those carbon carbon bonds contain a lot of energy. To change things around you’ll have to invest a lot of chemical energy into a reaction and only get a fraction of it back in fuel form.
