    Methane is burned at the point of use and produces carbon dioxide. Ideally there is no methane released in to the environment.

      Methane leaks

      Something like 3-10% of all methane production leaks. Methane is about 80x worse than CO2 over a 20-year period.

        Oh it does for sure. At least in Canada there are government regulations requiring inspections by 3rd parties to check for leaks with some sort of thermal camera. I’m not familiar with the technology to check for leaks but I’ve had to fix the leaks before and it’s taken seriously and well documented.
