If gas hydrates were to gain economic importance, Germany could only participate in the market as a technology supplier. Therefore, starting in 2008 the Federal Ministry of Economics and the Federal ...

The gas at issue here is called methane hydrate. Methane is natural gas; hydrate means there's water in it. In this case, the molecules of gas are trapped inside a sort of cage of water molecules.

China drilled two successful gas hydrate wells in 2017 and 2020, respectively. The second well, drilled at the Shenhu trough in the South China Sea, flowed at an average 28,700 cubic metres per ...
