Just Methane will do, fossil methane implies there's a better methane out there
On one hand, synthetic methane is set to be rather important in the medium term future. On the other hand, bio methane is probably the worse greenhouse product at the moment.
I mean, if it's methane but using another process to create it, it's still methane, a very potent greenhouse gas, that's so far hard to regulate and very easily leak unnoticed. It's "better" than obtaining from oil, but still, it's methane.
[insert methane is methane meme here]
Specifically synthetic methane will be efficiently burned, and much of it will be burned outside the atmosphere, so it's hardly a greenhouse risk.
