Gas hydrates, primarily methane, are a very concentrated form of clean energy, yielding 164 times their solid volume in gas. It is estimated that more energy is stored as gas hydrates than as all other forms of conventional hydrocarbons combined, including coal, oil and natural gas. If recovery technologies can be developed to make exploitation of gas hydrates economically feasible, gas hydrates could substantially alter the world energy supply situation.
