Critics of the natural gas extraction technique known as fracking have long criticized it for leaking too much methane â a potent greenhouse gas â into the atmosphere during the extraction process.he Environmental Protection Agency recently estimated that natural gas operations emitted about 145 million metric tons of methane in 2011, making it the biggest source of these emissions in the country.
Methane is a greenhouse gas, twenty-one times more powerful than c â¦ arbon dioxide. If methane is released into the atmosphere it works as a greenhouse gas. If it is burnt, it released carbon dioxide instead. Carbon dioxide is also a greenhouse gas, but it is not as powerful as methane.So burning methane is good for the environment.t is good to have methane in your compost heap, and bad to have too much methane in your house (KABOOM!). However, the Earth's ambient air always contains a certain amount of methane. Methane, by the way is a nontoxic odorless gas (contrary to common belief).
