Energy Department to Use Defense Production Act Funding to Expand Domestic Refinery Capacity

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced plans to provide up to $150 million in Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III funding to expand domestic petroleum production, storage, and logistics at refineries across the United States. This initiative aims to increase U.S. refining output by millions of gallons per day, strengthening America's fuel supply and lowering prices for consumers, aligning with President Trump's commitment to energy security.
