Unsaturated Hydrocarbons are the least common refined product out of the 4 products the player can produce from the oil refinery using cracked oil. Much like the other products, this gas can be processed into higher grade/energy fuels. The gas is a important step on the mod as it allows for the production of rubber, PVC, perfluoromethyl, and other important recipes.
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons are flammable, polluting gases providing 3.66 MTU per bucket.

Trivia
- In reality, unsaturated hydrocarbons refer to hydrocarbons containing double bonds or even triple bonds, including alkenes and alkynes. In fact, aromatic hydrocarbons also belong to one kind of unsaturated hydrocarbons, but here they should refer to aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbons (unsaturated hydrocarbons without aromatic rings).
- The recipe for producing rubber has an analog in reality: synthetic rubber is formed by polymerization of isoprene, a unsaturated hydrocarbon, and needs to be vulcanized.
