Yes, but often not in significant quantities. Alkenes are generally producted by "cracking" or breaking apart larger alkane molecules in the presence of a catalyst such as zeolite, to form alkenes and alkanes. This mixture is then separated by fractional distillation is a distillation column. They can also be produced by catalytic dehydrogenation.
