U.S. Patent Office to Issue the Ninth Patent to AET’s Sulfex™ Desulfurization Technology

U.S. Patent Office issues 10th patent for Alternative Environmental Technologies’ Sulfex(TM) Desulfurization Tech

The Stevanovich Center for Financial Mathematics is delighted to share the dates of our upcoming conference on Market Microstructure, Quantitative Trading, High Frequency, and Large Data. May 2-4, 2024, Chicago

Speaking at COP28 UAE in Dubai, Alternative Environmental Technologies and Lonford Global Director, Masoud Emami, said "As our transition and journey to renewable and green energies will be fueled by carbon fuels, a key element of achieving our planet’s energy transition goals (net-zero) will be curbing emissions from current production of carbon fuels. Adoption of new technology advancements such as Sulfex™ Desulfurization will help to significantly reduce refining emissions and have a positive impact on the refineries’ bottom line. For example, if all hydrotreaters in the world were replaced with Sulfex™, it would eliminate the equivalence of Germany’s CO2 footprint."
