The first shipment of Carbon-neutral Petroleum
The 30,000-tonne cargo was produced by Sinopec in Angola and shipped by Cosco Shipping to an east China-based Sinopec refinery for processing. The three companies offset the shipment by buying Chinese Certified Emissions Reductions credits, which will be spent on local carbon-reducing projects.
