One of the ongoing challenges in the desulfurization arena is bridging the gap from cutting edge research to real world application. Building this bridge is what the Argonne National Laboratory is all about. Here is one example …
Integrated Fuel Technologies Gets Worldwide License for Argonne-Developed Diesel DeNOx Catalyst
Technology reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by stunning 95 percent
A new, patented catalyst developed by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory to reliably and economically reduce 95 to 100 percent of the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel-fueled engines has been licensed to Integrated Fuel Technologies, Inc. (IFT), a start-up company based in Kirkland, Wash.
IFT plans to integrate the technology – named Diesel DeNOx Catalyst – into the firm's existing products that reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, said IFT president Robert Firebaugh. The products could be sold to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Granted, this particular example is not directly related to desulfurization, but you can bet they are working on that problem, as well.
