Deploying the latest pollution prevention technology; concern
for local ecological issues
CPC also actively promotes environmental protection education and activities, aiming to use its own experience and
capabilities in ecological matters to instill awareness of the need to care about the environment and cherish the earth
and its resources. So that we may give our children a clean environment, CPC calls on all citizens to work together in
dealing with ecological issues, by promoting environmentally-friendly local development, adopting parks and forests,
helping to clean up environmentally-degraded locations and preventing pollution of the oceans.
CPC stopped supplying leaded gasoline to the market in January 2000 to conform to the fuel quality standards of
the developed world and thereby help to improve Taiwan's air quality. Further, the sulfur content of CPC's diesel was
reduced from 375 ppmw to 50 ppmw in June 2004 and to 10 ppmw in July 2011. High-quality gasoline with a sulfur
content of 50 ppmw was introduced in January 1, 2007, and in 2012 the sulfur level was reduced to 10 ppmw. In
addition, vapor recovery hoses have been installed at all CPC filling stations and storage tanks have been fitted with
vapor recovery systems, resulting in the recovery of more than 3,200 kiloliters of gasoline per year – equivalent to a
reduction in emissions of a similar amount of volatile organic compounds.
Through years of constant effort, the quality of Taiwan's petroleum products has been improved until today it
compares favorably with that of Japan, the United States and other advanced countries. Not content to rest on its
laurels, however, in the future CPC will use the latest environmental standards for petroleum products of advanced
countries as the benchmark in the ongoing pursuit of ever-better quality. For the good of its homeland and the health
and prosperity of its people, CPC will employ the latest in pollution prevention technology, consistently seek better
performance in environmental protection and pursue sustainable development.
