Sultech Global Innovation Corp. Launches UAE Collaboration
The Canadian agricultural technology company Sultech Global Innovation Corp. has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ADNOC Sour Gas to introduce next-generation micronized elemental sulphur technology to the United Arab Emirates.
The agreement, finalized on November 3 at ADIPEC 2025 in Abu Dhabi, brings together leadership from both companies along with representatives from Canadian and UAE government and economic agencies. The initiative seeks to convert sulphur from sour-gas processing into a high-value input for agriculture and emerging clean-technology uses.
Partnership Details and Pilot Production Program
Sultech Global Innovation Corp. and ADNOC Sour Gas Collaboration
Under the MoU, the companies will jointly conduct a feasibility study and begin pilot production to establish the UAE’s first commercial facility for micronized sulphur. The effort will integrate Sultech’s patented micronization process into ADNOC’s existing sulphur granulation infrastructure at the Shah Gas Plant.
Sultech Global Innovation Corp. described the agreement as a step toward supporting agricultural productivity, food security, and environmental performance through technology that enhances sulphur utilization. The company stated that the collaboration aligns with broader goals in sustainability and industrial diversification.
Technology Background and Agricultural Applications
Founded in 2014 in Alberta, Canada, the company specializes in micronized elemental sulphur (MES) and markets an ultra-fine suspension fertilizer, SulGro™65. The product is designed to improve sulphur oxidation rates, nutrient availability, and crop performance while lowering emissions relative to conventional sulphur fertilizers.
Micronized sulphur is gaining broader interest across agriculture and clean-technology markets. Industry estimates project the global market value to exceed USD $800 million by 2030, driven by demand for high-efficiency fertilizer and industrial applications.
North American Expansion and Circular-Economy Focus
Future Plans for Sultech Global Innovation Corp.
In parallel with the UAE initiative, the corporation is finalizing development of a new manufacturing site in Alberta. Co-located with natural-gas infrastructure, the facility is intended to reduce sulphur disposal needs, lower emissions, and support Canada’s circular-economy objectives.
The Alberta project has received funding support from Emissions Reduction Alberta through a $5 million award. Once operational, it is expected to become a regional production and export hub for micronized sulphur-based agricultural solutions.
