The problem with Methan emission is that it does much more climate damage then CO2.
But flaring isn’t even enforced on many jurisdictions.
An even bigger problem is the methane that leaks out of waste belts.
So it makes sense to find a way to earn money by burning methane in a useful way, for example to make energy for a local grid.
So why mine bitcoin? It makes sense when there is no local grid. Because people live further away and there is no economic use other than bitcoin mining.
It makes perfect sense and it is a big win for the environment, because less methane is now release into the atmosphere.
