Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to the use of hydrocarbon-rich gels as a safe storage or transportation form for liquid hydrocarbons and to a process for the safe storage and safe transportion of liquid hydrocarbons, characterised in that a) the hydrocarbon is converted into a hydrocarbon-rich gel by addition of a surfactant and water and b) after storage or transportation has taken place, the hydrocarbon-rich gel is broken down again.
