We consider in dimension four weakly convergent sequences of approximate biharmonic maps into sphere with bi-tension fields bounded in $L^p$ for $p>1$. We prove an energy identity that accounts for the loss of hessian energies by the sum of hessian energies over finitely many nontrivial biharmonic maps on $\mathbb R^4$. As a corollary, we obtain an energy identity for the heat flow of biharmonic maps into sphere at time infinity.

Keywords: heat flow of biharmonic maps., energy identity, Approximate biharmonic maps.
