Between 2010 and 2019, the use of natural gas was responsible for 42 percent of the increase in CO2 emissions worldwide. What's more, 72 percent of CO2 emissions under a current policies scenario up to 2030 are projected to result from natural gas use. Though proponents of natural gas promote it as a transition to a lower-carbon energy future, significant shares of global CO2 emissions arise from the use of this fuel source.
