SulNOx scores in Saudi with new patent

SulNOx, the green fueltech group active in shipping, mining and road transport, has gained a valuable patent in Saudi Arabia.

The UK-listed company, which helps industry reduce emissions, lower fuel costs and meet sustainability targets, adds the patent to others granted for the US, Europe, Eurasia, Georgia, Ukraine, Hong Kong, South Africa, China, Indonesia, Singapore, Chile and Japan.

They cover a range of versions of SulNOx conditioners which emulsify water, while increasing lubricity and oxygen availability to fuel, making it burn cleanly and more efficiently.

Saudi Arabia is an important new patent for SulNOx, representing validation in one of the world’s largest and most influential oil producers. SulNOx expects its recognition by the largest country by the Middle East to support its pursuit of collaborations with major industrial groups in the region.

Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s national oil company, has stated it is committed to addressing climate change, while meeting energy needs. It is aiming for Net Zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions across all its owned and operated assets by 2050.
Ben Richardson, CEO of SulNOx, commented:

“Our Saudi Arabia patent is a huge step up in a growing patent portfolio, with approval in an energy superpower further enhancing our reputation as the leader in greentech fuel. We are excited by the opportunity to deploy our products at scale, helping a region synonymous with fossil fuels to reduce today’s emissions while meeting the climate challenges of tomorrow.”

The company has made very significant progress in shipping trials and growing revenues, signing major pilots in Asia and Europe with Teekay Corporation, Spring Marine, Marfin and Peninsula Yacht Services.

A key generator trial recently showed fuel usage lowered by 15%, while emissions were slashed.

SulNOx shares have risen more than 800% to 38p in 18 months.
