As mentioned earlier (see Section 5.5.2), at some point in time sulfur emissions will be controlled in all the scenarios and, together with shifts to essentially sulfur - free energy resources, they will decrease in the developing regions as they are decreasing now in the industrialized world.

But without these decreases, emissions up to 2100 could be several times greater than the scenarios currently predict.
