Tar sands are needed for their potential to produce oil, which can be refined and used in various applications such as transportation fuels and petrochemical products. However, the extraction and processing of tar sands can have significant environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction. Alternative energy sources and technologies are being developed to reduce the reliance on tar sands and other fossil fuels.
