We make progress to fuel
American success
Liquid fuels like diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline form the backbone of the global economy. From agricultural equipment to cargo ships, trains to construction machinery, few things can be made or moved without these fuels. That’s why America’s refiners — the companies that manufacture these fuels and more, are essential drivers of our country’s economic health and success.
The Spotlight
People, products, and the modern world depend on reliable access to energy. That’s why America’s refiners are so essential to keeping America moving.
Fueling human
progress
As the world’s population increases and the global middle class grows, energy demand too will grow. Trucks, trains, airplanes, tractors, and modern food systems rely on access to abundant liquid fuels. American refineries provide the energy that allows people to pursue healthy, successful lives in our country — and all over the world.
Sustaining our
way of life
Liquid fuels are crucial to the global economy. They are the primary energy source for transportation, like cars, buses, trains, ships, and airplanes. They are also essential to industrial production like manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. In some areas, liquid fuels heat homes and generate electricity.
