On the one hand, a shift to natural gas is promoted as climate mitigation because it has lower carbon per unit energy than coal or oil. On the other hand, methane (CH 4 ), the prime constituent of natural gas, is itself a more potent GHG than carbon dioxide (CO 2 ); CH 4. This would eventually be offset by a modest benefit.
