Scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a new reactor that converts natural gas (a common energy source primarily composed of methane) into two highly valuable resources: clean hydrogen fuel and carbon nanotubes, which are ultralight and much stronger than steel.
While this certainly sounds like an improvement over traditional burning, there’s nothing clean about natural gas. You have to remember how it destroys our environment as it’s pulled out of the earth.
You get the same gas from biowaste. We get emissions from landfills as well that can and should be collected years after landfill has stopped. There are many clean sources for methane - it should be collected and used in order for it to not leak into the atmosphere. If they found another good clean use for it, it’s good
Extraction isn’t the problem. It’s a green house gas that’s 80x worse than CO2

Ah well, fracking definitely does. It also increases the methane emissions
