Interesting idea. if you burn anything containing carbon you get CO2, there is no way around this, but on the flame front NOx is formed which is an undesirable but unavoidable by-product. What you really need to know is its efficiency at turning the stored chemical energy into electricity, and then really the whole lifecycle - where does the fuel come from. But that's another story.
