After contaminant and absorption losses, natural gas yields ~0.223 lb usable hydrogen per lb
Starting from 0.28 lb hydrogen atoms per lb of Natural Gas, removing 12% non-burnable contaminates (CO2, heavy hydrocarbons, water vapor) yields 0.247 lbs; subtracting a further 10% absorption contaminates yields approximately 0.223 lbs of hydrogen atoms available for combustion per pound of Natural Gas.
