Will an EV-Filled World Pass The Sulfuric Acid Test?

Cars That Think

—Jean-Michel Lavoie, University of Sherbrooke In swept the fossil fuel industry’s waste to save the day. Today, more than 80 percent of the world’s sulfur comes from these acts of waste management. By coincidence, sulfur’s presence in petroleum makes it harder to refine into diesel, jet fuel, and other assorted products.
