If it’s capture from a landfill, it’d likely be released as methane directly into the atmosphere.

If it’s made from things like chaff, it often gets simply burnt and released immediately back as CO2 into the atmosphere. No difference but significant usable energy.

I was absolutely arguing the wrong side of that, sorry. I didn't realize landfill emissions don't stay in the ground.
