The extraction process can use coal, wood and oil shale.

It required discovering new sources and better ways of refining before the cost became affordable.

In its solid form it known as paraffin wax Paraffin oil is a mineral oil that comes in two forms, either heavy liquid paraffin oil or light liquid paraffin oil. Paraffin is clean burning and maintains a high heat output.
