Greener petrol standards
China's Standardization Administration announced on Dec. 18 a stricter quality standard for petrol in an effort to bring down pollutant emissions from vehicles.
The new standard, known as "China 5," sets the sulphur content for gasoline at no more than 10 parts per million (ppm), a reduction from the fourth-phase standard of 50 ppm.
The new standard will come into effect on Jan. 1, 2018, and only petrol of this standard will be supplied nationwide.
