The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) is the leading trade association representing the makers of the fuels that keep us moving, the petrochemicals that are the essential building blocks for modern life and the midstream companies that transport our feedstocks and products where they need to go. We make products that make life better, safer and more sustainable.
The U.S. refining industry is the most complex and efficient in the world, making the gasoline, diesel and refined products that continue to be essential for fueling our nation and the world.
Petrochemicals are the building blocks of virtually every part of the global economy. They are foundational to healthcare, technology, energy, agriculture and beyond, and are difference-makers in products we use throughout our days.
The U.S. refining, petrochemical and midstream sectors are actively working to reduce emissions, conserve water and energy, reduce waste and preserve the lands and ecosystems that surround them.
AFPM members' commitment to safety goes beyond upholding codes and standards that guide operations, it is embedded in their cultures and instilled in every employee from day one.
The refining and petrochemical industries plan and prepare 365 days a year for a variety of events, from extreme weather to cybersecurity to physical threats to our facilities, to be prepared to protect our employees and facilities.
