Abstract
We assess the contribution of future gas combustion to the global emissions of carbon dioxide. Presently available natural gas resources are too small to make a significant contribution to the ultimate carbon emissions. However, if the production and combustion of synthetic gas becomes a major component of the global energy system, then carbon emissions from gas can become significant—in some cases, up to 50% of the total. Increased use of synthetic gas does not increase carbon emissions, unless the gas displaces electricity produced from nuclear power or solar energy.
