To add a new layer showing methane emissions, Windy needs a data source providing real time emissions of this gas by satellite. Apparently Copernicus should be able to provide such data:

https://www.gislounge.com/detecting-methane-with-satellites/

http://www.tropomi.eu/data-products/methane

But I’m’not sure that the current mapping provided by Copernicus would be really interesting, because it is the total column of methane throughout the atmosphere at low resolution. No way to get the emission locations :
