Demand for hydrocarbon fuels is steadily increasing, and greenhouse
gas emissions continue to rise unabated with the energy demand.
Alternate fuels will be coming on line to meet that demand. This
report examines the recovering of methane from methane hydrates for
fuel to meet this demand rather than permitting its natural release
into the environment, which will be detrimental to the planet. Some
background on the nature, vast sizes, and stability of sedimentary
and permafrost formations of hydrates are discussed. A few examples
of the severe problems associated with methane recovery from these
hydrates are presented along with the potential impact on the
environment and coastal waters. Future availability of methane from
hydrates may become an attractive option for aviation fueling, and
so future aircraft design associated with methane fueling is
considered.
