China Petroleum and Chemical (Petrochemical) Corporation (SINOPEC)
[ Description | Contact | Links ]
Sinopec is the largest producer and marketer of refined oil products in China and in Asia. This state-owned company is also the largest producer and distributor of petrochemicals in China, and the country’s second-largest oil and gas explorer and producer.
In 1995, Sinopec initiated a cleaner production program in an effort to reduce wastewater discharge, carbon-dioxide emissions and solid waste with good results at the 42 refinery plants in the program. Even with production increasing, there were reductions in wastewater discharge, chemical oxygen demand in the discharged wastewater, and solid waste. China’s State Economy and Trade Commission has named Sinopec as a National Clean Production Showcase Enterprise.
In July 2000, Sinopec began producing and distributing unleaded gas. Since then, it has made further progress in providing cleaner fuels, including diesel fuel.
Sinopec pays great attention to pollution control and clean production and has a program for implementing it according to China's 10th 5-year plan. Selected plants (starting in 2001) will have clean production audits. Clean production demonstrations (among Sinopec subsidiaries) will be promoted during 2002 and 2003.
