Dear Mockbank,
In the QNo 1, combustion of fossil fuel cannot be the source of Methane generation.
Raja, the bulk of energy related methane emissions arise from methane release during fossil fuel extraction and transportation. Some methane is also produced during fossil fuel combustion, with sources such as fossil fueled power stations, transport and heating all being significant contributors to atmospheric methane concentrations.
FYI, Methane itself is the fuel, it will not be produced during fossil fuel combustion.
Methane is the main component of natural gas, hence a fuel itself, sure. But that does not mean it is not produced in chemical reactions on combustion of other fossil fuels.
As a matter of fact, the largest human source of methane emissions is from the production, distribution and combustion of fossil fuels. This is responsible for 33% of human methane emissions.
Fossil fuel combustion is very much a source of methane production.
