The main purpose of the Researching Efficient Federal Improvements for Necessary Energy Refining Act, also known as the REFINER Act, is to enhance the understanding and capacity of petrochemical refineries in the United States. The act aims to ensure that these refineries contribute effectively to the nation’s energy security and supply reliability. Key provisions of the act require the Secretary of Energy to instruct the National Petroleum Council to prepare a comprehensive report within 90 days of the law's enactment.
