What is the opposite of fossil fuels?
Non-fossil fuels, renewable fuels.
Are all fossil fuels made up of carbon and hydrogen only?
By definition raw fossil fuels are not required to be purely composed of hydrocarbons. A hydrocarbon is by definition, just hydrogen and carbon; however in fossil fuels impurities are present that are often removed in refining. Some forms of fossil fuels have little or no hydrogen present (Coal for example is nearly all Carbon). It is not uncommon to find oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other mineral and chemical components in a fossil fuel outside of pure hydrocarbons. Refineries are designed to take raw fossil fuels (oil for example) and adjust those various components to meet some requirement. A good example is in gasoline and diesel fuels where octane, heptane, butane and sulfur levels can be controlled.
How can sulphur impurities be dealt with in fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas were formed over millions of years. By definition, the world is a finite place and so must fossil fuels be. They can not be instantaneously replaced. It is why the world is trying to move to renewables such as tidal, wind, wave, solar etc
