What primary fossil fuel releases the fewest pollutants?

[Edit]

Natural gas is the cleanest. It produces the least amount of carbon dioxide per unit of energy released than the other fossil fuels like coal and oil.

To get the same amount of heat, natural gas produces 30% less CO2 than burning oil, and about 45% less than burning coal.
