According to the report, they supposedly underestimated methane production by 25%.
What surprised me more though was that even going be the previous value (which I'll simply assume to be 1.5%/1.25=1.2%), that sounds like a _lot_ of greenhouse gas contribution for a resource which in 2014 "only" contributed 3.8% to global energy consumption, according to [1].
