Important distinctions. Fortunately there are lots of other renewable innovations to celebrate. I like to believe we are getting closer to the solarpunk future humanity deserves!

It’s “sustainable” as in “we can keep producing methane even when oil fields are empty”, not as in “methane does not produce greenhouse gases when burned”

Humanity doesn’t deserve shit

For anyone down voting, how many species have humans caused to go extinct? Is our wellbeing worth the permanent deletion of every other species on the planet? Fuck humanity.

And yet it creates plenty of it anyway

It uses CO2 to produce the methane, so it should be neutral.

If it's getting all of the car in for that methane from atmospheric carbon dioxide then it should at least be neutral. The production should, if that is how it's working, remove as much carbon from the atmosphere as burning the product would release. This would make it a hell of a lot better than fossil extraction since that's taking carbon not currently in the atmosphere and then releasing it in to the atmosphere
