Venting is intentional, passive release of gas to the atmosphere and these are safety precautions.

Venting and flare are safety systems. You can choose to just vent as methane or you can vent it as carbon dioxide by flaring it. It is better environmentally to flare it.

If you vent the gas you have methane if you flare the gas you have CO2.

Because a vent can become a flare the height of the chimneys should be the same and is about 25-30 meters high. Some countries don’t want vents and only want flares

There are continuous small volumes of methane unless the flare gas is recycled
