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.

How much co2 is produced from a Gj of natural gas?
On average, burning 1 gigajoule (GJ) of natural gas produces approximately 55-60 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
How much SOx emissions were produced in 1992?
In 1992, around 70 million tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions were produced globally.
How much methane do termites worldwide produce each year?
Termites produce around 11-30 million metric tons of methane annually, making them one of the largest natural sources of methane emissions.
What is the national carbon footprint?
This is the total emissions of carbon (from CO2 and CH4), expressed in tons, for a country in one year.
How many tons of greenhouse gases are emitted per person each year in the US?
40 billion tons are emitted by human beings world wide. The US has roughly 5% of the world's total population. But we are responsible for a larger percent than any other country except China, and our emissions exceed those of China on a per capita bases. In all, about 18 metric tons per person.
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
What unit of measurement do you use to measure carbon emissions?
Metric tons
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.
What was the level of emissions in 2000?
Global carbon dioxide emissions in 2000 were approximately 24 billion metric tons.
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.

What is the carbon footprints?
This is the total emissions of carbon (from CO2 and CH4), expressed in tons, for a country in one year.
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.
What is the national carbon footprint?
This is the total emissions of carbon (from CO2 and CH4), expressed in tons, for a country in one year.
