Sour gas is a natural fuel gas that has high concentration of H2S (hydrogen sulfide). The sulfide gives the gas an unpleasant odour like that of rotting eggs. When burned sour gas releases SO2 (sulfur dioxide) an acid gas that can corrode metals. Acid are often referred to as sour as the origin of the word is from the Germanic word sauer or acidic
