Gas Hydrates: The Future Source of Energy
Methane
The amount of energy produced when a fuel is burned, is mainly determined by the
carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) content of fuel. Methane Hydates, which has a higher
energy content relative to other fuels, and thus it has a relatively lower CO2 to energy
content.
• Can be used to fuel vehicles
Disadvantages
• It is considered to be 20-30 times
more potent as a greenhouse gas
compared to carbon dioxide.
• Methane can be tricky and poses
potential problems that may
exacerbate the global warming
issue.
• It is very dangerous to human
body.
•High enough concentrations
in the air can result in
suffocation of air breathing
creatures.
•It is highly explosive.
Conclusion
• Potential of gas hydrates is great, but practical development is
far off.
• Even though it is still early to declare with full certainty that Gas
Hydrates will have larger stakes in global energy production in
future years, it is safe to say that it has the potential to promote
a new trend and revolutionize the energy industry.
