Natural Gas Hydrates: Future of Energy resource

गीत  जहाँ गए नि धर्ती आकाश उहिं नै छ उत्तर होस या पश्चिम सृस्टि जहां को त्येहिं छ सच्चा हृदय ले खोज पाउने छौ सारा सुख मन भ्रान्ति भयो भने पर्ने छ दुखै दुख रिस खान्छ आँफू त बिष खान्छ अरु रिस त्यागी बन ज्ञानी यही हो मानव जूनि

Natural Gas Hydrates: Future of Energy resource Introduction: Gas-hydrates is a crystalline form of methane encaged within the water molecule which looks like ice and is formed at high pressure and low temperature in the environment in continental margins (generally continental shelf and slope of the ocean) and permafrost regions such as the Krishna-Godavari basin, Hikurangi Margin, Blake ridge, and the Arctic, Tibet, etc. At standard pressure and temperature 1m 3 of gas hydrate can produce 164 m 3 methane gas and 0.8 m 3 water. It has also been estimated that less than one-fourth of the world’s total Gas Hydrate extraction can meet the world’s energy demand for about more than two centuries.   Thus, Gas hydrates have attracted the attention of the whole scientific community because of their wide occurrences, potential as a future energy resource, role in climatic change and sub-marine landslide, etc. Being the emerging field of research, a lot of Research and Development (R&a
