Groups warn against impact of EPA's GHG regulations
The Environmental Protection Agency's rules on greenhouse-gas emissions could place U.S. refiners at an economic disadvantage against global competitors, said Howard Feldman, API's director of regulatory and scientific affairs. Refiners want to increase their efficiency because energy is the second-biggest operating expense, Feldman said. "Our nation's petroleum refineries remain one of the last internationally competitive segments of the American manufacturing base," wrote Charles Drevna, president of the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association, in a letter to the EPA.
