Zhejiang Petrochemical

Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (ZPC) is one of China's largest integrated refining and petrochemical companies, based in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province.

Established to support China’s growing demand for high-value petrochemical products, ZPC’s massive complex processes crude oil and produces a range of products, including refined fuels, ethylene, propylene, and other chemicals used in plastics, textiles, and synthetic materials.

The facility has a refining capacity of over 40 million tons per year, making it one of the largest of its kind globally. The complex's integration allows ZPC to convert crude oil directly into chemicals and fuels efficiently, supporting China’s economic development and reducing the need for imports.

However, the company also faces challenges around environmental impacts and sustainability, as the scale of operations requires extensive measures to manage emissions and pollution.
