Methane is produced naturally in vast quantities by decaying organic matter, cow farts, released from volcanoes, natural reservoirs, etc. I doubt that some small leaks in an industrial process would make a real difference. It would probably be undetectable in comparison to the leaks in our current natural gas infrastructure that we use for heating homes, cooking, and electrical generation.

- henearkr 5y agoNo, these leaks are of serious concern. This was one of the reasons behind the recent scandal where "blue hydrogen" had been found to be very dirty.
