Natural gas produces 1,000Btu/cubic foot.

1 cubic foot (1 ft³)= 0.028 316 846 592 m³ (exactly)

Sooooo.....
(500m3) multiplied by
(1ft3/.028316846592m3) multiplied by
(1,000Btu/1ft3) multiplied by
(117,000lb/1,000,000,000Btu) equals
Approximately 2,065.9lbs of CO2
or 6.5 times the %26quot;simple%26quot; answer given earlier.
I%26#039;d probably just say %26quot;It produces a ton of CO2!%26quot; and call it good (that%26#039;s in US short tons or 2,000 pound increments).

Edit: Apparently, according to another answer, the correct method is to assume 10-30% of a substance is an entirely different substance for simplicity%26#039;s sake, then assume laboratory settings at exactly 1 atmosphere for simplicity%26#039;s sake, then....no wonder today%26#039;s %26quot;scientists%26quot; believe CO2 is causing global warming! You can only guess what substances they%26#039;re assuming is CO2 for simplicity%26#039;s sake!
Edit Gingy: Nice try. It%26#039;s a commodity bottled and sold by volume in controlled environments at a preset pressure. Industry standards and international regulations dictate the allowed variance from these figures. You can%26#039;t just ignore the unknown quantities and expect your calculations to resemble real world results! What I present are the real world figures, with links. My brain. 20% 2 Votes
