There are a number of ways to reduce the emissions of Sulfur Dioxide and also acid rain, including: switching fuel sources to natural gas, oil, or renewable energy sources; switching to low-sulfur coal; removing the sulfur from the coal before burning and removing the sulfur from the smoke stack after combustion through the installation of pollution control equipment such as filtration systems.
