US DOE to award up to $20M for research on methane hydrates

Green Car Congress

MAY 8, 2013

Methane hydrate—molecules of natural gas trapped in an ice-like cage of water molecules—represents a potentially vast methane resource for both the United States and the world. In addition, methane is itself a potent greenhouse gas, remaining in the atmosphere for about a decade before it is converted to carbon dioxide. Earlier post.).
