The group's refineries in more than 26 northern China cities are ready to sell cleaner diesel and gasoline which meet the national six fuel standards, starting in September.
Sinopec said it invested about 300 B yuan between 2010 and 2016 to upgrade refining equipment and produce cleaner fuel.
The National Six allows a maximum sulfur content of 10 parts per million (ppm), and requires a lower level of other pollutants such as PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) compared with the national five standards.
