Can methane leakage undermine the climate case?
sourced
Yes. IEA and WBA work reports fugitive methane across feedstock handling at 0.1-2.4%, biogas production at 0-12%, and upgrading slip at 0.05-2% depending on technology. Unmanaged, that can materially erode the net benefit the whole carbon claim rests on.
