WASHINGTON — American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) and the American Petroleum Institute (API) released the following joint statement on U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's meeting with leaders from the U.S. refining industry.
"Secretary Granholm’s meeting with American refiners today was a constructive discussion about ways to address rising energy costs and create more certainty for global energy markets. While these challenges and their causes are complex—from Russia’s war in Ukraine to market imbalances leftover from COVID—productive outcomes today should send a positive signal to the market that the U.S. is committed to long-term investment in a strong U.S. refining industry and aligning policies to reflect that commitment. Our industry will continue to seek opportunities to work with policymakers to unlock American energy, fuel economic recovery, and strengthen our national security."
