Elroy, if you use light crudes, for example, Maui condensate, you will get a LOT less CO2 per useful energy than if you use Orimulsion, or other heavy oils. If you use coal, you'll get even more CO2 than with heavy crudes - as you say, it's all carbon doing the burning. If methane is used, then CO2 production is low compared with heavy crudes. My point was that as the hydrocarbons with lots of hydrogen are depleted, [methane and light condensates], people will increasingly use heavy thick gooey low-hydrogen stuff and coal. But even so, because people will have moved away from hydrocarbons as their energy source, and human population will have dropped heavily, total CO2 production will reduce. Mqurice
