With methane hydrates, some fuel producers want to remove the gas safely to use it. Others see the emptied cages as potential storage sites for carbon dioxide, which could theoretically keep it ...

Canadians may think they're intimately familiar with ice in all its forms, but there is one kind that most have probably ...

Chemical structure's carbon capture ability doubled Date: December 3, 2024 Source: Oregon State University Summary: Scientists have found a way to more than double the uptake ability of a chemical ...

Worrying about methane hydrates warming the atmosphere is like worrying about your house burning down after it's been leveled by a hurricane, according to an expert scientist with the Department ...

In the new research, the team developed a technique for the ultrafast formation of carbon dioxide hydrates. ... chemical-free process simplifies the use of hydrates for large-scale carbon storage.

A methane hydrate is a deposit of frozen, latticelike water molecules. The loose network has many empty, molecular-size pores, or “cages,” that can trap methane molecules rising through cracks ...
