Change in coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions, 1965 to
2022
Sulphur dioxide (SO₂) is an air pollutant formed from the burning of fuels that contain sulphur, such as coal. Countries canreduce SO₂ emissions by burning less coal, or installing desulphurization technologies which remove sulphur from thesmokestack.
