The Irony of Decarbonization: A Possible Sulphur Shortage
Addressing climate change requires the gradual elimination of the production of
fossil fuels. Currently, the production of Sulphur as a waste product from
fossil fuel production provides 80% of the world’s demand for Sulphur.
Sulphur is a critical element in the production of food and green technology.
What to do about the projected Sulphur shortfall?
That is the subject of a fascinating 2022 paper, Sulfur: A potential resource crisis that could
stifle green technology and threaten food security as the world decarbonizes,
published in the Royal Geographical Society’s Geographical Journal.
It would be worth reading before attending the Middle East Sulphur Conference,
scheduled for 20 - 23 May 2024 in Abu Dhabi. Visit https://events.crugroup.com/middleeastsulphur/home
