That doesn't mean you have to burn it along with it, because we always did so in bygone days.
Those were also the days of acid rain killing forest etc ...

The sulphur content (now 10ppm) in our European fuels, has been lowered for years.
Rather than getting burned and converted into noxious H2S and SO2 on its way to become acid rain, the extracted sulphur is now used for other (industrial) purposes.

@ work, we go through tons of this stuff every single day
