Our products improve
people’s lives.
Throughout its history, the petroleum rening
industry has experienced cyclical ups and downs.
But one thing remains constant – our products
improve people’s lives. Petroleum products power the
world economy efciently, reliably and economically.
Gasoline, diesel, heating oil, jet fuel, lubricants and
hundreds of petrochemical building blocks greatly
enhance our world. The addition of alternative
fuels to our product slate contributes to important
growing sources of energy, with corn-based ethanol
playing a signicant role.
The fuels produced by Valero give consumers the
freedom to drive to work or play. Highways connect
our cities and towns. Our military has a domestic fuel
supply to protect our country. If you think about what
we accomplish – the complexity of our processes
compared with the low prices charged to deliver
these products to market – the results are amazing.
From fuels to plastics to polymers, sulfur to asphalt,
Valero is a vehicle for progress.
