Depends on who is making it and when it was being made. It has
been made in one form or another from CO2, CO & methane (Fischer-Tropsch
rxn.) all the way to crude oil that is cracked under catalyst with H2.
End result is some form of oily ester, diester or polyolefin.
Good stuff (no flame wars please).
