Trick or treat? We won’t need oil, fuels or petrochemicals much longer.
That’s a trick, because according to the International Energy Agency, global oil demand rises to 113 million barrels per day by 2050.
See the thread below to see what other industry myths are a trick!

Renewable fuels aren’t new — but America’s refineries are helping take their production to a new level.
Learn how AFPM members are driving the expansion of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel:
What tabs we’ve got open today:
➡️AFPM EMPOWER Votes
With the 2026 midterm elections less than TWO WEEKS away, head on over to our EMPOWER Votes website to check your voter registration, explore where candidates stand on the issues that matter to our industries and more. (empowervotes.afpm.org/)
➡️ AFPM: RFS reallocation would undercut WH fuel affordability efforts
From the AFPM Newsroom: our President and CEO’s statement on EPA’s release of a proposed rule to expand the 2026-2027 Renewable Fuel Standard by tacking on additional obligations from 2025 via “reallocation.” (afpm.org/newsroom/news/afpm-…)
Chemistry is essential to the refining and petrochemical industries, helping us turn crude oil into the fuels, petrochemicals and refined products we rely on every day.
As Bridget, former Director of Research, Technology, Innovation and Global Sustainability at Westlake Global Compounds, told us:
“What I’ve always really liked about chemistry is that I can use it to solve problems, and solve problems from simple things, such as … how do I make it stronger, but also more complex things, how do I make it safer? How do I make it more environmentally friendly? I love chemistry ‘cause I can figure things out.”

America’s refiners and petrochemical manufacturers rely on freight rail to move our products where they need to go — but a proposed merger between two of the last freight railroads could raise costs and erode service.
Our President and CEO @CThompsonAFPM co-authored a blog post with @JahnChris, President and CEO of @AmChemistry, and @EricR_ACD, President and CEO of the @ACD_chem, arguing trade associations deserve to have a voice in this critical conversation.
Where was AFPM this week? We were in Texas, touring Port Houston. The largest port in Texas and one of the largest in the nation, the port is essential for moving American crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products.
We really appreciate @Port_Houston for facilitating the boat tour!
