Technologies that help us reduce emissions
Refiners and petrochemical manufacturers are proving that using oil and gas while reducing emissions is not a zero-sum game. By integrating cutting-edge technologies and developing lower emissions products, they are enabling global communities to enjoy the benefits of life-enhancing fuels and petrochemicals, all while significantly lowering emissions across the economy. This transformative approach is paving the way for a future where energy efficiency and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
Products that reduce emissions
While AFPM members continue to produce the traditional fuels and energy essential for our daily lives, they are also at the forefront of creating liquid fuels with lower lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to reduce emissions throughout the transportation sector.
