Just be aware, hydrogen in almost all its presented formats is basically natural gas. 96% of hydrogen is sourced from fossil fuels.

So whenever you see shit promoting hydrogen, read it as something promoting natural gas/ fossil fuels.

Burning methane as a fuel is better for the climate than releasing it as methane. But the best thing would of course be to not release anythig at all

That’s technically true, but it’s not much better in the scheme of things. It’s best, as you said, not to release any at all while reducing the production of more as much as possible.
