(Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres) In China, new legal regulations prescribe the recovery of petrol vapour at filling stations (vent processing) in especially polluted regions like Beijing or Shanghai.

Due to these new conditions, the Chinese oil company PetroChina has now equipped about 140 filling stations with a membrane technique developed by the polymer researchers of the GKSS Research Centre Geesthacht.
