Dada la mayor relación hidrógeno/carbono en la composición del gas natural en comparación con otros combustibles fósiles, su combustión produce considerablemente menos CO2 por unidad de energía producida. En base a esto, la combustión del gas natural produce como mínimo un 25-30% menos CO2 que la del petróleo y al menos un 40-50% menos que la del carbón por unidad de energía producida, dependiendo del proceso que se utiliza y la calidad del combustible. 1, record 1, Spanish, - combusti%C3%B3n%20de%20gas%20natural
