It's not just value, it's also about embedded energy. Spending $1000 in additional infrastructure to recover $1001 additional methane could make financial sense. But what if manufacturing that infrastructure utilized more btus of cheaper or cleaner energy than what gets recovered? Then you're still better off not recovering it, financially and from an embedded net energy/ greenhouse gas perspective.
