Petroleum was refined into kerosene for use in lanterns and stoves. Kerosene, also known as paraffin oil, became a popular fuel in the 19th century due to its efficiency and ability to burn cleanly. It provided a brighter and more reliable light source compared to previous options like whale oil or candles. Its versatility also made it suitable for cooking and heating applications.
