Will methane gases be produced during the cycle?

Methane gas is emitted during the decomposition process of organic materials in an anaerobic ("no air") environment. Methane is 28 times more insulative of atmospheric heat than CO₂, and is therefore a huge contributing force to global climate change. Since the FoodCycler® aerates the food waste while heating and pulverizing (an aerobic environment), those environmentally damaging methane gases are not produced during the cycle.
