The Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing subsector is based on the transformation of crude petroleum and coal into usable products. The dominant process is petroleum refining that involves the separation of crude petroleum into component products through such techniques as cracking and distillation. In addition, this subsector includes establishments that primarily further process refined petroleum and coal products and produce products, such as asphalt coatings and petroleum lubricating oils. However, establishments that manufacture petrochemicals from refined petroleum are classified in Industry 32511, Petrochemical Manufacturing. 3, record 2, English, - refined%20petroleum%20and%20coal%20products

Greenhouse gas emissions from the pulp and paper industry decreased 19% from 1990 to 1999, while product output increased 27%. These diverging trends result from a 42% reduction in coal and heavy fuel oil use, increased use of natural gas and electricity, as well as energy efficiency improvements. For example, natural gas provides more than twice the energy supplied by coal and refined petroleum products to the sub-sector. 5, record 2, English, - refined%20petroleum%20and%20coal%20products

Les émissions de l'industrie des pâtes et papiers ont diminué de 19 % entre 1990 et 1999, alors que la production a augmenté de 27 %. Ces tendances divergentes s'expliquent par une réduction de 42 % dans l'utilisation du charbon et du mazout lourd, par une plus grande utilisation du gaz naturel et de l'électricité ainsi que par l'apport d'améliorations éconergétiques. Par exemple, dans l'approvisionnement énergétique du sous-secteur, la part du gaz naturel est plus de deux fois supérieure à celle du charbon et des produits pétroliers raffinés. 2, record 2, French, - produits%20du%20p%C3%A9trole%20raffin%C3%A9%20et%20du%20charbon

La publication 45-250-XPB, périodique annuel qui a été publié par Statistique Canada de 1988 à 1998, portait le titre de «Industries des produits raffinés du pétrole et du charbon». Il est à noter que cette publication a cessé de paraître et que le titre en était mal formé. Dans l'expression «produits raffinés du pétrole et du charbon», l'accord de l'adjectif «raffiné» avec le substantif «produit» entraîne un faux sens puisqu'il sous-entend qu'il y a deux types de produits raffinés : les produits raffinés du pétrole et les produits raffinés du charbon. Or, le charbon ne fait pas l'objet d'un raffinage, mais d'un traitement, et il n'y a donc pas de «produits raffinés du charbon». Pour rendre correctement l'expression anglaise «refined petroleum and coal products», il faut dire «produits du pétrole raffiné et du charbon».
