> Taal has emitted an average of 7,777 tons/day of SO2 for the year and has been continuously degassing voluminous concentrations since 2021.

That's almost 8kt or 4kt of sulfur per day or 1.4Mt of sulfur per year. I wonder how stable that stream of gas is and if gas capture would be feasible to extract the sulfur, both for profit and to alleviate the ill effects on people and nature. A ton of sulfur is worth about $100, so that would be $140 million in sulfur per year. 🤔

You can sell sulfur? But it's in gaseous state. It can be converted to solid? Mmmm. Fascinating.

SO2 is a gas and a highly corrosive gas.

S is a rock and very easy to handle.

Of course, burning sulfur you get the corrosive gas again.
