Ep. 193: In Conversation with Ben Richardson, CEO, Sulnox

In this episode, BritCham Singapore’s Head of Trade Services, Louise Beazor, sits down with Ben Richardson, CEO of Sulnox, for a deep dive into green technology, decarbonisation, and the practical challenges of reducing emissions in traditional industries such as shipping, logistics, and power generation.

Drawing from his background in palaeo-climatology and investment banking, Ben unpacks how Sulnox’s patented fuel conditioning technology improves combustion across liquid hydrocarbons—including diesel, marine fuels, and emerging biofuels—reducing fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and harmful particulate matter without requiring capital-intensive upgrades.

The conversation explores how scalable, low-barrier solutions can accelerate the energy transition, the role of innovation in stabilising biofuels and future aviation fuels, and why Singapore serves as a strategic hub for Southeast Asia expansion. Ben also shares his journey from studying climate change through geological history to leading a green tech company driving tangible sustainability impact globally.

Other key themes include the challenges of introducing new technologies in conservative industries, the regulatory and market drivers for adoption, and how businesses can make immediate environmental and operational gains through practical solutions.

🎧 Tune in for insights on the intersection of green technology, energy efficiency, and leadership in sustainability, and learn how Sulnox is shaping the future of emissions reduction in Asia and beyond.
