This is not the period I am looking for. I have the data upto 1990. I
need 1991-2001 YPAbrol

The time coverage isn't quite what you're looking for, but just the
same, it may pay to have a look at:

Lefohn A.S., Husar J.D., and Husar R.B. (1999) Estimating Historical
Anthropogenic Global Sulfur Emission Patterns for the Period
1850-1990. Atmospheric Environment. 33(21):3435-3444.

It is important to establish a reliable regional emission inventory of
sulfur as a function of time when assessing the possible effects of
global change and acid rain. The paper describes the development of a
database of annual estimates of national sulfur emissions from 1850 to
1990. A common methodology was applied across all years and countries
allowing for global totals to be produced by adding estimates from all
countries. The emission estimates were based on net production (i.e.,
production plus imports minus exports), sulfur content, and sulfur
retention for each country's production activities. Fine temporal
resolution clearly shows emission changes associated with specific
historical events (e.g., wars, depressions, etc.) on a regional,
national, or global basis. The spatial pattern of emissions shows that
the US, the USSR, and China were the main sulfur emitters (i.e.,
approximately 50% of the total) in the world in 1990. The USSR and the
US appear to have stabilized their sulfur emissions over the past 20
years, and the recent increases in global sulfur emissions are linked
to the rapid increases in emissions from China. Sulfur emissions have
been reduced in some cases by switching from high- to low-sulfur
coals. Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) has apparently made important
contributions to emission reductions in only a few countries, such as
Germany.

I posted this comment in your other question

but it applies here as well

See 
 
"This paper provides global and country by country estimates of sulfur
emissions for the early and mid-1990s. Raw estimates are obtained in
two ways. For countries with published data we compile that data from
the available sources. For the remaining countries, we use either the
decomposition model estimated by Stern (1999), the first differences
environmental Kuznets curve model estimated by Stern and Common
(2001), or simple extrapolation depending on the availability of data
on the explanatory variables. We then examine the compatibility of
these estimates with the ASL estimates for 1990. Based on these and
other comparisons we construct a preferred database for 1850-1999 and
discuss the main movements in the 1990s. The data is available from
the datasite. "

Which has global SO2 emmissions, 
 
I don't think you'll be able to find complete data beyond 1999. 
 
Here is the search strategy I used 
 
global sulfur emissions 2000 (I also tried various other dates without
additional success)
