Sultech to supply micronised sulphur technology
Sultech Global Innovation Corp., a Canadian agricultural technology company, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ADNOC Sour Gas for its micronised elemental sulphur technology. Under the MoU, the companies will conduct a feasibility study and pilot production program to establish the UAE’s first commercial micronised sulphur manufacturing facility. The initiative will integrate Sultech’s patented micronisation process within ADNOC’s sulphur granulation at the Shah Gas Plant, the world’s largest ultra-sour gas operation.
“Sultech is proud to see Canadian innovation taking its place on the world stage through our partnership with ADNOC Sour Gas. Our micronised sulphur technology represents a major leap forward in sustainable agriculture, transforming a by-product into a breakthrough that supports farmers, food security, and the environment,” said Murray MacKinnon, CEO of Sultech Global. “As we position for rapid growth, Sultech is advancing plans for a new manufacturing facility in Alberta, strategically integrated with the natural gas sector. This expansion will strengthen our production capacity and establish a North American hub for sustainable sulphur-based solutions.”
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Alberta, Canada, Sultech’ proprietary process converts elemental sulphur into an ultra-fine suspension, branded as SulGro™ 65, which claims to deliver faster oxidation of sulphur to a plant usable form and greater nutrient availability, as well as lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional fertilizers. Micronised sulphur addresses widespread sulphur deficiencies in global soils, improving crop yields, protein content, and fertilizer efficiency while reducing nutrient losses to waterways.
In parallel with the UAE initiative, Sultech says that it is finalising plans for a new facility in Alberta, co-located with the natural gas sector to minimise sulphur disposal, cut emissions, and advance circular economy practices. The project was made possible with the support of Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA), through a C$5 million investment awarded under the Emerging Innovators Challenge. The site will serve as a North American manufacturing and export hub, leveraging Canada’s expertise in responsible resource development and agricultural innovation.
