Hydrogen is H2, while natural gas, also known as methane, is CH4.    H2 combustion doesn’t result in carbon emissions, whereas methane does. This means that H2 burns with lower and higher amounts of air present compared to CH4. The adiabatic flame temperature of H2 is ~4,000 whereas that of methane is ~3,565.
