I assume you want the waste products from the combustion of natural gas, and not from the production of it from the gas wells.
The combustion products are as follows:
Fossil Fuel Emission Levels
Pollutant Natural Gas
Pounds per Billion Btu of Energy Input
Carbon Dioxide 117,000#
Carbon Monoxide 40 #
Nitrogen Oxides 92#
Sulfur Dioxide 1 1#
Particulates 7#
Natural gas is the cleanest of all the fossil fuels. Composed primarily of methane, the main products of the combustion of natural gas are carbon dioxide and water vapor, the same compounds we exhale when we breathe.
