The point is CO2 per joule, not the efficiency of turning chemical energy to heat.

Methane gives 4 hydrogens per carbon, whereas heating oil gives only 2 hydrogens per carbon = double the CO2 per joule when using fuel oil ( near enough for government work,).
but I still fail to see NG issue when home furnaces care already mandatable to approx. 98% eff..

I'd have to get my old thermodynamics textbooks out. Methane gives 2xH2O + CO2
Diesel/fuel oil gives H2O + CO2

I guess that's going to be only about 50% more energy per CO2, not double.

Heck, I'd need retraining to be a fuel salesman. Last time I sold fuel, third of a century ago, nobody cared about CO2, they just wanted bang for buck. Glasshouse operators wanted MORE CO2 per buck.
