The fuel supply chain refers to the process of producing, transporting, and distributing fuel from its source to end users. It begins with the extraction of raw materials, such as crude oil or natural gas, which are then refined into usable fuels like gasoline or diesel. This refined fuel is transported through pipelines, trucks, or ships to various distribution points. Once the fuel reaches distribution centers, it is stored and then delivered to retail outlets, such as gas stations, where consumers can purchase it. Key players in this chain include oil companies, refineries, and transportation companies, all working together to ensure a steady supply of fuel.
