American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) President and CEO Chet Thompson today applauded the bipartisan passage of H.R. 1435, the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act, from the House of Representatives. Chet testified before the House Energy & Commerce Committee in favor of H.R. 1435 earlier this summer.
Renewable fuel incentives continue to evolve with the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This new legislation provides opportunities for renewable fuel manufacturers, such as expanded and more lucrative credit programs, but also establishes new challenges including linking credits to established carbon intensity targets. We explore these new programs, potential impacts on existing manufacturers, and the anticipated effects on the broader renewable fuel market and new investments.
Owners act and think differently than employees. To an owner, a business is more than a source of income. It’s part of their identity. They view its success as their own. But what if you could inspire your employees to tap into the ownership mindset? In this inspiring keynote, Kerry Siggins shares how she led her company in making a dramatic shift in mentality from an employee mindset to an ownership mindset and how doing so turned paycheck players into top performers
“Just as we were proud to testify in support of these bills last month, AFPM is proud to support the legislation being marked up today...As members review these bills carefully, appreciating exactly what they do and do not do, the choice to support them should be obvious, especially for those with fuel and petrochemical manufacturing facilities in their districts.” – Chet Thompson, AFPM President & CEO
A strong leader is defined by their unwavering moral ethical values, resilience in the face of adversity, and the ability to act with integrity, honesty and loyalty despite pressures to deviate or to be more like the other leaders around them. Character-based leadership is an approach that centers on the ethical dimensions of leadership. Leaders who adhere to this philosophy recognize that their decisions and actions have lasting impacts on individuals, organizations, and society. One's character is created, whereas leadership is learned. Come ready to learn the benefits of leading with character. This Women in Industry session is brought to you by the Women in Industry Committee.
Today, the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) issued the following statement regarding revisions made to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Phase 1 regulations by the Council on Environmental Quality.
AFPM president and CEO Chet Thompson issued the following statement in response to a vote of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approving California’s Advanced Clean Cars 2 regulation, establishing an escalating ban on the sale of gasoline and diesel-fueled cars and trucks, culminating with a 100% ban by 2035. "California’s radical ban on gasoline- and diesel-fueled cars and trucks will have devastating implications for consumers, energy security and the U.S. manufacturing economy. It is critical that President Biden and the EPA reject California’s request for a Clean Air Act waiver to proceed with this unlawful ban."
In a series of comments submitted recently to EPA, leading labor groups made the case to President Biden and EPA Administrator Michael Regan for reductions to the proposed 2022 Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) volume mandate. An unachievable and costly RFS is a threat to good union jobs.
