From January 1 next year, Sinopec will take the lead in promoting the use of National Standard III (National III) gasoline in seven provinces and cities domestically. Yesterday, it was learned from Sinopec Sichuan that no information on promotion in Sichuan had been received from the Sinopec headquarters so far, and the possibility of promoting the use of National III standard gasoline in Sichuan next year was small. However, promoting the use of high-clean National III standard gasoline is a future development trend.
It is understood that the sales companies of Sinopec in Guangdong, Fujian, Henan, Hubei, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shandong's Qingdao have determined to take the lead in promoting the use of high-clean gasoline, namely National III standard gasoline, locally from January 1 next year.
Yesterday, relevant persons from the Sichuan-Chongqing branch company of Sinopec said that it was still unclear whether the use would be promoted in Sichuan region next year, and no relevant notice from the Sinopec headquarters had been received either. The person in charge of the retail department of Sinopec Chengdu Company also stated that no news about promoting the use of National III standard gasoline had been received from the superior company up to now, and the possibility of using it in Sichuan region next year was not great. However, National III standard gasoline is a future development trend.
National III standard gasoline is also known as high-clean gasoline, which is constituted by adding a certain proportion of multi-functional gasoline cleaning composite additives to the 93-octane unleaded gasoline as the base. This kind of gasoline enhances the ability to remove various deposits, which is beneficial to improve economy and reduce exhaust pollution. Currently, Beijing, Guangdong and other places have promoted its use. However, the Chengdu area currently sells and uses unleaded gasoline known as National II standard.
According to Sinopec personnel, the local refineries in the provinces planned for the promotion of National III gasoline have all possessed the ability to produce National III gasoline. Yang Fu
