Nature provides something that will eat almost anything.

Oil can be food for bacteria, they break it down into CO2 and their body materials.

To use bioremediation bacteria are mixed with the oil.

* In soil this involves plowing the oil into the soil eithr in situ or in treatment beds. * In water bacteria may be spread on shores where the oil contamination has occurred. * For underground oil spills (into groundwater) bacteria can be injected into the contaminated aquifer.
