EMMERSON PLC O.N.

The United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office has granted a patent to Emmerson for its Khemisset multimineral process (Patent No. 2634094, "Processing of Evaporite Minerals"), protecting the core process for the potash project in Morocco. The process is expected to reduce water demand by around 50%, raise the potassium chloride yield from 85% to about 91%, and additionally produce the fertilizer products struvite and vivianite. Emmerson has filed further patent applications in multiple jurisdictions, as the process could be applicable to potash deposits worldwide. The company’s subsidiaries have also initiated arbitration against Morocco at ICSID, seeking US$1.215 billion in compensation; the outcome is uncertain. » Altro su de.investing.com

Emmerson PLC has initiated international arbitration against Morocco, seeking $2.2 billion in compensation after the environmental permit for the Khemisset potash project was denied. The rejection led to a full write-off of the project and a significant annual loss for 2024. The company continues to explore commercialization of its new processing method and has reduced operating costs during the legal dispute. » Altro su de.investing.com
