There is no such thing as “decarbonized oil”

1. I am trying to find something from the oil industry stating what ‘decarbonized’ oil is, but I honestly cannot find anything.

   What it seems like they are talking about is reducing the carbon footprint of the extraction, processing, and transportation steps. Which, you know, is good. I guess. If they’re going to be drilling, anyway… make it less damaging than it otherwise could be. But it’s not ‘decarbonized’. That’s just marketing bullshit like ‘clean coal’ is. Yeah, it’s not as toxic as it used to be… but it’s not ‘clean’.

   EDIT: Re-commented because the mod-bot doesn’t like profanity. lol

4. Decarbonized oil is just hydrogen.
