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.
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.

Depending on the source of natural gas. Approximately 51kg of CO2 per GJ.
Animals produce co2 and plants produce o2 and co2
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.
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.
CH4 --> CO2 is a 1 to 1 reaction (C-balanced) when burning with oxygen. So 1 mole CH4 --> 1 mole CO2 So 1 Litere CH4 --> 1 Liter CO2 So 16 grams CH4 --> 44 grams CO2
"How do natural gas stations produce electricity?
The scientific name for natural gas is methane (CH4).
The amount of CO2 produced by a 10 Megawatt power station would depend on the type of fuel it uses. For example, a coal-fired power station would produce around 25,000 tons of CO2 per year, while a natural gas power station would produce around 15,000 tons of CO2 per year.
