Australia patent granted
Sulnox Group PLC has secured a significant patent in Australia for its emulsification technology, covering various fuel formulations including HSFO, diesel, petrol, biofuels, and marine fuels. This strategic expansion into the southern hemisphere, leveraging Australia's strong ties to Southeast Asia, is expected to accelerate revenue opportunities, particularly within the maritime sector, which contributed A$203 billion to Australia's GDP in 2023, and the mining sector, a key economic driver. The company believes this patent is critical intellectual property for penetrating the Australian market and addressing the needs of large industrial players facing pressure to reduce fuel costs and emissions.

About this update from Sulnox Group Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n \n16 December 2025 \nSulnox Group Plc\n(the \"Company\" or \"Sulnox\")\n \nAustralia patent granted\n \n(Aquis Stock Exchange: SNOX)\n \nSulnox, the greentech company delivering lower fuel costs and emissions with zero capex, is pleased to announce that it has secured a strategically important patent in Australia.\n \nConsistent with Sulnox's more than 100 patents granted to date in other major markets, this latest patent for emulsification covers a range of formulation versions which includes both the Berol® 6446 Heavy Sulphur Fuel Oils (HSFO) emulsifiers and Sulnox Eco™ Fuel Conditioners which enhance all diesel, petrol/gasoline and biofuels, and marine fuels including Marine Gas Oil (MGO) and Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), Very and Ultra Low Sulphur Fuel Oils (VLSFO/ULSFO) and HSFO. \n \nAustralia is a significant new patent for Sulnox, as the company continues to expand its global reach into the southern hemisphere in partnership with major distributors, and opens new stock locations.

The maritime sector, in which the company has achieved significant early success globally, is fundamental to Australia's economy, contributing A$203 billion (£101 billion) to GDP in 2023; the country has approximately 70 ports handling 98% of all trade by volume that flows in and out of its borders (Source: Australian Institute of Marine Science, 2023). In addition, the mining sector, which is equally under regulatory pressure to reduce fuel costs and emissions throughout its supply chain, is an even larger segment of Australia's economy, contributing almost 10% of GDP (Source: Reserve Bank of Australia).\n \nBen Richardson, CEO of Sulnox, commented: \n \n\"Our Australia patent is critical intellectual property as we focus on his very sizeable market. Sulnox has identified several opportunities among large industrial players struggling to meet tough sustainability goals while working hard to reduce fuel costs. Supported by evidence of growing a...
