Sulnox, the greentech company delivering lower fuel costs and emissions at zero capex, is pleased to announce that it has secured a strategically valuable patent for Mexico.

The latest patent is a major development supporting Sulnox's pursuit of partnerships and collaborations with large industrial groups across the Americas.  Mexico is the world's 15th largest economy by Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Export revenues in manufacturing and services are growing steadily, supported by resilient United States demand and nearshoring trends. Longer-term economic prospects are widely viewed as positive, owing to the Mexico's emerging role as a key supply-chain hub amid global trade realignments. (Source: IMF; Vanguard)

Shipping, in which Sulnox has achieved significant early success, is a critical industry in Mexico. The country's maritime territory covers more than 3.1 million km², making it one of the largest in the Americas, with 117 ports. Manzanillo is the primary container gateway on the Pacific coast, handling almost half of the shipments entering Mexico.

Beyond shipping, Mexico has a road network of 366,095 km, the ninth largest in the world. In recent years, railways have regained a central role in Mexico's national infrastructure agenda. Major government projects have been launched in both the freight and passenger sectors, consolidating logistics corridors that connect ports, borders and key industries. Mining, a key target market for Sulnox, contributes 9% of Mexico's industrial GDP. The country is the world's largest producer of silver and a globally significant producer of gold, copper and zinc.

Mexico's infrastructure and industrial profile are major factors influencing its position as the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) in Latin America and a leading global polluter.  The country has committed to reducing GHG emissions by 35% by 2030. It also aims to cut black carbon emissions by 51% by 2030 and to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

The Mexican patent is consistent with the company's intellectual property protection gained to date in other major markets globally. It covers a range of product formulations which enhance all diesel, petrol/gasoline, biofuels, and marine fuels including Marine Gas Oil (MGO) and Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), Very and Ultra Low Sulphur Fuel Oils (VLSFO/ULSFO) and Heavy Sulphur Fuel Oils (HSFO). 

Ben Richardson, CEO of Sulnox, commented: 

"The Mexican patent is a significant building block in our strategy for the Americas, where we are expanding partnerships for market penetration and targeting substantial revenue opportunities. Mexico faces a considerable challenge that Sulnox can help to address immediately: reducing fuel costs, cutting emissions and reaching tough sustainability goals. We look forward to announcing further progress in the Americas and extending our patent protection as we enter new sectors and markets worldwide."
