Does it make sense to use burn methane for heating, when using hear pumps or geothermy would be more efficient and less polluting?
Producing methane from wastes is a good idea. This doesn’t produce enough methane to cover all uses. I heard it’s best to prioritize uses that are hardest to electrify (buses, heavy industry, …).

I assume logistics could be a problem. In any case, burning methane is better than releasing it, as methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas.
Still, if it can be optimized further through smarter utilization, they should do it going forward.
