    Sulphur explained: the oil industry by-product the energy transition runs on

    Most sulphur isn't mined: it is a by-product of oil and gas processing, and about 85% of it becomes sulphuric acid for fertiliser and metals. That acid makes about 22% of the world's mined copper through leaching, and Indonesia's HPAL nickel plants use more than 10 tonnes of sulphur for every tonne of nickel. In 2025, 76% of Indonesia's sulphur came from the Middle East, through one strait; since the war began the sulphur price has risen about 50%, and sulphur has climbed to 37% of Indonesia's nickel cost, up from 26%, as China curbs its acid exports. The energy transition runs on a waste product of the oil industry.
