What is the best fuel for the environment? Gas, Diesel, Propane, Natural Gas?

By Chris Abraham 8.4

Natural Gas is the best fuel for the environment. Burning natural gas produces only water and carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide emission is the least for natural gas when compared to propane, gasoline and diesel. There is no nitric oxide or sulphur dioxide, emission from natural gas. Natural gas will not emit any heavy metals like mercury to the air. It also has the least particulate matter and cause no smog formation.

Other fuels are sources for free house gases causing global warming. These also emits, particulate matter and heavy metals.
