Chairman Fu Chengyu said during the 2014 皇冠体育app Summit on Caring for the Climate, held in on Thursday, that Chinese companies including Sinopec have made increasing efforts to protect the environment for sustainable development.

The company said that doubling its energy efficiency would be equivalent to saving 42 million metric tons of or planting 940 million trees.

It will avoid 81 million tons of carbon emissions during the next 10 years through energy efficiency improvement, which will be the same as eliminating emissions for a year for 22.92 million economy-model cars.
