Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have recreated the high-pressure, low-temperature conditions of the seafloor in a tabletop apparatus for the study of ...

A technology that allows the preparation of artificial methane hydrates has been developed by researchers. These researchers have demonstrated that it is possible to prepare methane hydrates in a ...

A process and related technology that research at the US Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) helped to develop could enhance the use of natural gas and the world’s vast ...

A study published recently in the journal Physical Review Letters highlights the discovery of a new hydrogen clathrate hydrate that could improve the storage and transportation of hydrogen fuels. The ...

In a separate talk, Brewer will describe his novel seafloor experiments on methane hydrates, ice-like solids that exist in large reservoirs in the deep sea. The stability of methane hydrates at ...

A study last week suggested that there could be up to 400 billion metric tonnes of methane under the Antarctic ice sheet. The concern this study flagged up was the effect on the climate such a large ...

The right way to understand the potential of unconventional fuels like methane hydrates and tight oil is to closely examine their production rates and their prices. If these fuels can be produced at ...

It sounds like an addictive drug. And that may become an accurate description for the frozen fossil-fuel deposits that go by the name “flammable ice.” On Tuesday, Japan announced that it had tapped ...

A natural gas hydrate national laboratory under China National Offshore Oil Corporation has been approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology, as China gains an edge for combustible ice ...
