According to U.S. EPA, Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2004,
1 therm of natural gas burnt produces 11.7 lbs. of carbon dioxide emissions.
Therefore, the Carbon Coefficient for natural gas is:
117 pounds of CO2 per million BTU, or 0.12 pounds per cubic foot of gas.

What is the production of greenhouse gasses?
From several sources it was calculated that the world annual
emissions of the big 4 GHGs were as follows. The data does not
account for water vapour or natural emissions.
* CO2 30 billion tons * CH4 7 billion tons * Nitrous Oxide 3
billion * Fluorocarbons 3 billion
Asked in Pollution, Mexico, Air Pollution
What is Mexico pollution rate?
Mexico releases 436.15 million metric tons of carbon dioxide
emissions annually (12th place, 2009). Those emissions represent
1.6% of the world's total and compared to China's or America's
emissions (6,103.49 and 5,752.29 million metric tons,
respectively), they represent 7.14% and 7.58% of such
emissions.
Asked in Units of Measure
When converting CO2 emissions to tons is metric tons the standard?
The answer is yes. The EIA (Energy Information Administratoin,
part of the united states government) use metric tons for measuring
CO2 equivalent, therefore it should be (or is) the standard.
Asked in Global Warming, Fossil Fuels, Air Pollution
What fossil fuel creates the most fuel emissions?
Coal releases more carbon dioxide than oil.
Oil releases more than natural gas.
A:
We burn more coal (a little over four billion tons per year) than
any other. Oil (over 3 billion tons) comes in a close second.
A:
Coal, then oil, then natural gas (methane).
