It is still an early tech and a fairly inefficient process, but it's improving rapidly and should produce less C02 as it is refined.

This, and also I don't think CO2 is as much of a concern as methane.

Is this something that maturation of the technology would fix? Currently it is very much handcrafted as a proof of concept in the lab. Article mentions that currently cultures are purified same as pharmaceuticals. Would food grade be less resource intensive?
