In my opinion, when considering fossil fuels, coal provides the most pollution in terms of released and/or generated amount of CO2 because coal has a high amount of carbon in its fuel composition provided on the unit mass basis and it has the smallest stoichiometric oxidant to fuel ratio when ideal and complete combustion takes place.
