Description

According to this study, the global Methane Hydrate Extraction market size will reach US$ million by 2031.

Methane clathrate (CH4·5.75H2O) or (4CH4·23H2O), also called methane hydrate, hydromethane, methane ice, fire ice, natural gas hydrate, or gas hydrate, is a solid clathrate compound (more specifically, a clathrate hydrate) in which a large amount of methane is trapped within a crystal structure of water, forming a solid similar to ice.

Methane clathrate (CH4·5.75H2O) or (4CH4·23H2O), also called methane hydrate, hydromethane, methane ice, fire ice, natural gas hydrate, or gas hydrate, is a solid clathrate compound (more specifically, a clathrate hydrate) in which a large amount of methane is trapped within a crystal structure of water, forming a solid similar to ice.The methane hydrate extraction market is at a nascent stage as their extraction process is not yet commercialized. Some of the factors expected to drive the growth of this market include greater availability, rise in investments for the process of extraction, and several government initiatives to accelerate the extraction process to meet the growth in demand for energy. Methane hydrate releases larger amount of natural gas, which is expected to be used as a future source of energy. Countries such as China and Japan have already successfully extracted methane hydrate after conducting two tests.
