The 1.2 mt/a gasoline adsorption desulfurization unit of Sinopec Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Co., Ltd. has successfully passed the authoritative verification by the Beijing Sanxingjiuqian Certification Center and obtained a carbon neutrality evaluation certificate. It has become China’s first gasoline adsorption desulfurization unit to achieve carbon neutrality certification, setting a benchmark for the low-carbon transformation of high-energy-consuming equipment in the petrochemical industry.
It is reported that this unit is a significant achievement of Sinopec in digesting and absorbing the S Zorb patented technology from the U.S. ConocoPhillips Company. It was put into operation in October 2013. With technical advantages such as low octane loss, low hydrogen consumption, and low energy consumption, the unit has consistently undertaken the mission of supplying clean energy.
The attainment of this carbon neutrality certification marks a major breakthrough in the unit’s full-life-cycle carbon management. During the reporting period from January to March 2025, the unit successfully offset 1,441.62 tons of CO2 equivalent in greenhouse gas emissions through measures such as utilizing green electricity and recovering low-temperature waste heat. All indicators met the requirements of the ISO 14068-1:2023 standard.
