Enhanced CH 4 -CO 2 Hydrate Swapping in the Presence of Low Dosage Methanol
CO 2 -rich gas injection into natural gas hydrate reservoirs is proposed as a carbon-neutral, novel technique to store CO 2 while simultaneously producing CH 4 gas from methane hydrate deposits without disturbing geological settings. This method is limited by the mass transport barrier created by hy...

CO 2 -rich gas injection into natural gas hydrate reservoirs is proposed as a carbon-neutral, novel technique to store CO 2 while simultaneously producing CH 4 gas from methane hydrate deposits without disturbing geological settings.
