Memory effect on hydrate formation and influential factors of its sustainability in new hydrate–based coal mine methane separation method
This paper describes an experimental study on the memory effect in a methane–in–water system in which a hydrate was once formed and then dissociated. The 'memory effect' is found to be associated with gas hydrate nucleation. This study aims to investigate how memory effect in the hydrate nucleation process depends on the thermal and kinetic history (i.e., the nucleation pressure and temperature, ...

Analysis of availability and accessibility of hydrogen production: An approach to a sustainable energy system using methane hydrate resources
It is considered that use of hydrogen as an energy source may contribute to environmental improvement and provide an alternative energy system. Moreover, it is anticipated that hydrogen will be in great demand in the near future for use in such vehicles as fuel cell-based cars. Research and development of a number of advanced methods of hydrogen production (OTEC, water photolysis using a ...

Will we ever stop using fossil fuels?
Not without a carbon tax, suggests a study by an MIT economist. In recent years, proponents of clean energy have taken heart in the falling prices of solar and wind power, hoping they will drive an energy revolution. But a new study co-authored by an MIT professor suggests otherwise: Technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead us to continue using all the oil, gas, and coal we ...
