SulNOx Group (Aquis: SNOX, OTCQX: SNOXF), a greentech company specializing in fuel efficiency and emissions reduction solutions, has announced the acquisition of a new patent in Brazil. This development marks a significant expansion of the company’s intellectual property portfolio into South America’s largest economy.
The patent, consistent with SulNOx’s existing patents in other major markets, covers a range of formulations including Berol® 6446 Heavy Sulphur Fuel Oils (HSFO) emulsifiers and SulNOxEco™ Fuel Conditioners. These products are designed to enhance various fuel types, including diesel, petrol/gasoline, biofuels, and marine fuels such as Marine Gas Oil (MGO), Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), Very and Ultra Low Sulphur Fuel Oils (VLSFO/ULSFO), and HSFO.
Brazil, as the world’s 10th largest economy according to the IMF, presents a substantial market opportunity for SulNOx. The country’s diverse industrial landscape, including significant mining operations and extensive shipping and road transportation networks, aligns well with SulNOx’s target sectors.
The mining sector in Brazil, which is among the world’s largest producers of iron ore, copper, gold, manganese, tin, and nickel, could benefit from SulNOx’s fuel efficiency solutions. Additionally, the country’s 36 deep-water ports and extensive road system, crucial for freight and passenger traffic, represent key areas where SulNOx’s technology could contribute to decarbonization efforts.
Ben Richardson, CEO of SulNOx, expressed enthusiasm about the potential impact of this patent, stating, “Our Brazil patent adds a huge and diverse economy to a growing portfolio. There are few countries with so many industries operating on a large scale, each pursuing tough sustainability goals on tight timetables.”
The timing of this patent acquisition is particularly relevant, given that Brazil will host the COP30 global climate change conference in November 2025 in the city of Belém. This event is likely to intensify focus on sustainability initiatives across Brazilian industries.
SulNOx’s approach of offering zero-capex solutions for fuel cost savings and emissions reduction could prove attractive to Brazilian businesses looking to improve their environmental performance without significant upfront investments. The company is positioned to pursue partnerships and collaborations with major industrial groups in the region, leveraging its newly secured intellectual property rights.
As global pressure mounts for industries to reduce their carbon footprint, SulNOx’s expansion into the Brazilian market could represent a strategic move to capitalize on the growing demand for cost-effective, environmentally friendly fuel solutions in one of the world’s largest economies.
