WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers released a statement in response to the President’s State of the Union address.

The U.S. refining industry has invested more than $100 billion in the past decade to enhance operations to produce cleaner fuels.

Congress established the mandate for cellulosic biofuel under the RFS in 2007. The basic idea was that requiring ambitious volumes of cellulosic fuel to be incorporated into the fuel supply would create and simultaneously mature the market for cellulosic ethanol and biofuels, but that’s not what happened.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – “AFPM commends the bipartisan efforts of House and Senate leaders to pass a short-term reauthorization of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program.

There aren’t many production facilities in the country more secure than refineries. Leaders in the fuel and petrochemical industries pride themselves on workplace safety and security, which is evident based on even a cursory glance at any AFPM member’s annual security report.

A diversity of consumer groups, environmental organizations, food producers and engine manufacturers joined AFPM in voicing their opposition to the unsustainable ethanol mandates released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for 2019.

In a new article, The New York Times attempts to vilify The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers for issue advocacy and lobbying around a proposed transportation policy.

If you read the headlines in the news lately — “Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Plastics Are Predicted to Rise,” “New Texas petrochemical projects add millions of tons of greenhouse gas pollution, report finds” — you’d think emissions from the petrochemical industry were getting worse.

What comes next for returning service members varies greatly. For McNeill and Harbin, both found rewarding work that instilled pride in them not too dissimilar from what they felt serving their country - in the fuel refining and petrochemical industries.
