Wikipedia says the burning of methane produces CO2 and water, seemingly at a 1:1 ratio between the methane and CO2 molecules (chemistry isn't my strong suit, though). CO2 is a lot better than CH4 afaik, so rather than venting it directly, this makes me wonder why we don't burn all waste methane that is currently just being vented like from these ships Also interesting > Compared to other hydrocarbon fuels, methane produces less carbon dioxide for each unit of heat released. [...] methane, being the simplest hydrocarbon, produces more heat per mass unit (55.7 kJ/g) than other complex hydrocarbons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane
