The burning of any fossil fuel creates this gas. The total combined fuel use by man produces over 5% of all CO2 produced. Levels of CO2 in the atmosphere can reach as high as 0.037% in some areas. Levels historically sit at 0.03% or so is the current belief.
Yes, burning natural gas does produce carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a greenhouse gas. However, it emits significantly less CO2 per unit of energy compared to other fossil fuels like coal or oil. Natural gas primarily consists of methane, and when combusted, it combines with oxygen to produce CO2 and water vapor. Despite its lower carbon emissions, it is still a fossil fuel and contributes to climate change.
Appliances don't exactly produce carbon dioxide (CO2), but they are responsible for CO2 emissions. Appliances run on electricity, and most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This burning emits CO2, a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming.
Yes, natural gas, methane, is one of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which, when burnt, releases carbon dioxide (CO2). It is also a greenhouse gas in its own right.
The scientific name for natural gas is methane (CH4).
Depending on the source of natural gas. Approximately 51kg of CO2 per GJ.
Animals produce co2 and plants produce o2 and co2
Yes, burning natural gas does produce carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a greenhouse gas. However, it emits significantly less CO2 per unit of energy compared to other fossil fuels like coal or oil. Natural gas primarily consists of methane, and when combusted, it combines with oxygen to produce CO2 and water vapor. Despite its lower carbon emissions, it is still a fossil fuel and contributes to climate change.
On average, burning 1 million cubic feet (MMcf) of natural gas produces around 117,000 pounds (about 53 metric tons) of carbon dioxide (CO2). This calculation takes into account the carbon content of natural gas and the standard conversion rates.

CO2?
Yes, natural gas, methane, is one of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which, when burnt, releases carbon dioxide (CO2). It is also a greenhouse gas in its own right.
Natural gas is esetially methane (CH4). When one volume of methane burns it produces one volume of CO2. From the formulae it is possible to calculate that one kilogram of methane burns to produce a bit more than 3 kg of carbon dioxide.
"How do natural gas stations produce electricity?
CO2 and methane...
The scientific name for natural gas is methane (CH4).
Just about any carbon-containing compound will produce CO2 when burned in the presence of oxygen. This would include wood, coal, oil, natural gas, organic matter, etc etc
In a complete combustion process, the main elements in natural gas (methane, CH4) react with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as byproducts. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O.
