Stored natural gas
Natural gas storage. Several cylindrical tanks used to store treated sour gas. Also seen in the background is yellow sulphur which is a by-product of this process. Sour gas is natural gas which is rich in hydrogen sulphide (formula H2.S). Before sour gas can be used the hydrogen sulphide impurity is broken down into inert sulphur. Once purified the natural gas is known as sweet gas. Photographed in Alberta, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of storing natural gas in Alberta, Canada. The image captures several cylindrical tanks used to store treated sour gas, a type of natural gas rich in hydrogen sulphide. In the background, one can also spot vibrant yellow sulphur, which is a by-product of this complex procedure. The storage tanks stand tall against the backdrop of an industrial landscape, symbolizing the vital role they play in supporting our energy industry. These tanks serve as guardians for this precious fossil fuel resource that powers countless homes and industries across Canada. Through meticulous treatment processes, the impurity of hydrogen sulphide is broken down into inert sulphur before it can be utilized effectively. This purification process transforms sour gas into sweet gas – a cleaner and more desirable form of natural gas. The photograph not only highlights the significance of these storage facilities but also emphasizes their environmental impact by showcasing the production and treatment stages involved in harnessing this valuable energy source responsibly. Captured by Science Photo Library, this visually stunning print offers viewers a glimpse into an essential aspect of our energy infrastructure while reminding us to appreciate both the complexity and beauty found within our modern world's reliance on natural resources.
