Gas Hydrates - More Natural Gas Than Ever Thought Possible
March 23 saw 24 papers about natural gas hydrates, the frozen methane locked up in frozen deep cold water, at the American Chemical Society’s 237th National Meeting in Salt Lake City.
Known as gas hydrate, it is a frozen form of natural gas that can burst into flame at the touch of a match and show increasing promise as abundant, untapped sources of clean, sustainable energy. Those icy chunks could supplement traditional conventional natural gas sources that will become more expensive, perhaps in short supply and are being used to substitute for coal in electrical power generation and increasingly to fuel cars.
