| Summary: | In this study, we have synthesised the current state of scientific knowledge and international learning to develop a possible road map for the commercial production of methane hydrate in New Zealand. This road map anticipates that continuing rapid progress in the engineering geology and production technologies required for hydrates extraction, both internationally and in New Zealand, that will allow the commercial production of energy from marine hydrate to become realisable in the near-to- medium term. |
