There is existing storage and there are existing turbines but there is no existing capacity to produce the methane they basing this on.

That means a capital outlay must be weighed against the productive capacity of the outlay.

Given the low efficiency that equation will only favor the use of this process for a brief time because higher efficiency technologies are available for electricity.

There is a more probable roll for it in producing fuel for heavy transportation. The value lies in energy density AND portability.
