What’s New
Permitting reform is a strong start. Here’s how Congress can make it better.
America is the world’s energy superpower. We have the refineries, petrochemical facilities and fuels consumers need. But too often, outdated permitting rules make it harder than it should be to build the pipelines, terminals and other infrastructure needed to move crude oil and other feedstocks to facilities and products to consumers.
Advancing renewable fuel production
Renewable fuels aren’t new – but America’s refineries are helping take their production to a new level. AFPM members are driving the expansion of renewable diesel (RD) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), investing in new capacity, upgrading facilities and scaling advanced technologies to meet growing demand.
