Even if it all leaks out, you're still back at 0 essentially.

No, because methane is worse than CO2. Anyway, replacing fossil methane with synthetic is strictly better so the leaks are irrelevant.

The big source of methane is cows anyway. This system needs to scale to ridiculous levels to come even close to all the cows.
