How do we turn petroleum into energy we use?
arlik [135]

You don't "turn" it into energy; petroleum HAS stored energy (chemical energy).However, you can turn it into ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY; usually this is done by burning the petroleum, and using it to drive machinery.

Since burning fuels is wasteful (the efficiency is limited, in theory, to the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine), other options are being explored, such as chemical reactions in a fuel cell. But such technology is not yet used on a large scale.
