Petroleum products that are burned to produce heat or power and is also used in maritime navigation. Fuel oil is a fraction that is obtained from petroleum distillation. Its main characteristics include its sulfur content (1%, 1.5%, 3.5%), its viscosity)

1. Synthetic gas used for heating or cooling. It has less energy content than pipeline-quality gas.

2. Fuel gas is also the fractional percent of Shipper Gas used for fuel within the Transmission System by INGL acting as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator,free of charge.

While fuel cost sometimes means exactly what it suggests (the cost of fuel), it has a particular meaning in the energy industry: the cost of the heat content of the fuel. This cost is calculated by dividing the total cost of the fuel by its BTU content (the amount of heat energy it can produce) and multiplying the result by one million
