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.
