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 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.

Why is cabon emission measured in tons and not by volume?

Carbon emissions are measured in tons because the weight of carbon dioxide emissions produced is directly proportional to the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere, regardless of the volume it occupies. Tons provide a standardized unit of measurement that allows for more accurate comparison and assessment of emissions across different sources and sectors. Additionally, measuring in tons allows for easier tracking and quantification of emissions for reporting and regulatory purposes.
