Sultech Global Innovation Corp, a Calgary based agricultural technology company, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ADNOC Sour Gas to bring commercially proven next generation micronized elemental sulphur technology to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Under the MOU, the companies will conduct a feasibility study and pilot production program to establish the UAE’s first commercial micronized sulphur manufacturing facility. This project will integrate Sultech’s patented micronization process with ADNOC’s sulphur granulation at the Shah Gas Plant, the world’s largest ultra-sour gas operation.
In a press release, Murry MacKinnon, chief executive officer of Sultech, said the company’s micronized sulphur technology is a major leap for sustainable agriculture as it transforms a by-product into a substance that will support farmers, food security and the environment.

Wheat stem fly damage in Alberta was down in 2025, and the outlook for 2026 looks similar.
Sultech is advancing plans for a new manufacturing facility in Alberta, strategically integrated with the natural gas sector. This extension will strengthen production capacity and establish a North American hub for sustainable sulphur-based solutions, said MacKinnon.
Founded in 2014, Sultech Global is a pioneer in micronized elemental sulphur technology. It converts elemental sulphur into an ultra-fine solution, branded as SulGro trademark 65, which delivers faster oxidation, greater nutrient availability, and lower greenhouse gas emissions, compared to traditional fertilizers. Micronized sulphur can be used to address widespread sulphur deficiencies in global soils, improving crop yields, protein content and fertilizer efficiency while reducing nutrient losses to waterways.
The micronized sulphur market is continuing to grow and will be worth $800 million USD by 2030.
The agreement was signed on November 3 at ADIPEC 2025 in Abu Dhabi, with leadership from Sultech Global, ADNOC Sour Gas, representatives from Alberta Government, the Embassy of Canada to the United Arab Emirates and Calgary Economic Development.
