All carbon based fuels produce carbon dioxide when burned. These include:fossil fuels (coal. oil, natural gas)alcoholsbio-fuels (wood, charcoal, waste burning including cremation)specialty industrial fuels (acetylene etc.)carbon monoxideCoal and petroleum are the two primary fossil fuels. Oxidizing methane also releases CO2, but that is 25 times better than releasing methane, itself an even more potent greenhouse gas.
