Description
Gasoline is a fossil fuel primarily used as fuel for internal combustion engines, providing power for automobiles, motorcycles, small engines, etc. This dataset includes major primary and auxiliary materials, energy inputs, atmospheric emissions, waterborne emissions, and waste generated during the production process. Infrastructure such as production equipment and facility construction, as well as materials and energy consumed during decommissioning, are excluded from the system boundary of this dataset. The life cycle inventory data are sourced from literature. The production process of coal-based synthetic natural gas involves technologies such as coal gasification, purification, and methanation, with gasoline being a by-product of this process.

Process Description
Gasoline, also known as motor fuel or petroleum spirit, is a transparent, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is primarily refined from petroleum through a fractional distillation process and has the CAS number 8009-75-0. Gasoline has a complex molecular formula because it is a mixture of various hydrocarbons, with main components including octane, heptane, hexane, etc. The following are some basic characteristics and uses of gasoline:
Energy source: Gasoline is a fossil fuel primarily used as fuel for internal combustion engines, providing power for automobiles, motorcycles, small engines, etc.
Volatility: Gasoline has high volatility, which allows it to vaporize easily in engines, forming a combustible air-fuel mixture.
Octane rating: The anti-knock property of gasoline is measured by its octane rating. A higher octane rating indicates better resistance to engine knocking and offers greater protection for the engine.
Cleanliness: Modern gasoline typically contains detergents to reduce the formation of carbon deposits inside engines, thereby improving fuel efficiency and performance.
Environmental impact: Gasoline combustion produces carbon dioxide. pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, which impact the environment and air quality; industrial applications: in addition to being used as fuel, gasoline is also utilized as a solvent, paint thinner, and cleaner in certain applications; storage and transportation: gasoline should be stored in sealed containers to prevent volatility and reduce fire hazards.
