Absolutely. I agree. It is another big benefit of the technology. My final question is for Dr. Beausang. I thought it was vitally important that we had at least one statement to point out the potential risks. There are risks with all of these technologies. We cannot turn a blind eye to them. In doing so, Dr. Beausang also presented possible solutions like multi-species swards. I have one point which has already been touched on. Burning the produced gas to generate electricity or such will have associated emissions, like with burning any gas to create energy. In her work, has Dr. Beausang covered the emissions from burning gas to produce energy?
