A New Regime
Lubricants industry expects increased regulation, emphasis
on climate change from Biden administration
By Mindy Long
A
new presidential administration always brings
change, and people within the lubricants industry
expect to see a greater emphasis on regulations,
enforcement and climate change under Joe Biden.
" Buckle up the seat belt, because it is going to be fast,
and there will be more action than we've seen in quite some
time, " said Derrick Morgan, senior vice president of federal
and regulatory affairs for American Fuel & Petrochemical
Manufacturers.

but that won't be the case with the Biden administration.
" I think the inclination of the administration is going to
be to do the opposite of the Trump administration. I think
you'll see that across the board, " Morgan said. " We would
caution against that approach, because we thought there
were a lot of positives done over the last four years. "
Where, when and how reversals will occur remain
unknown, said Jim Eggenschwiler, principal, global trade
and chemical regulations services, for the Redstone Group, a
