The story behind America’s first new refinery in 50 years

In this episode of the Hydrocarbon Engineering Podcast , we speak with John Calce, Chairman and Founder of America First Refining, about the vision behind the US’ first new greenfield refinery since the 1970s. We consider the role that it could play in strengthening US refining capacity and energy security, and the significance of its design to process 100% US shale oil. We also explore the challenges of developing a new refinery in today's energy landscape, its impact on the local community, and the environmental strategies that have been built into the project from the outset.
