[1] The sulphur content of natural gas when it comes out of the ground can have a wide range of values, when the hydrogen sulphide content is more that 1%, the gas is usually known as "sour gas". Normally, almost all of the sulphur is removed from the gas and sequestered as solid sulphur before the gas is used to generate electricity. Only in the exceptional case when the hydrogen sulphide is burned would the high values of SO2 emissions occur.
