Abstract

At present, natural gas accounts for 3% of the total energy consumption in China. It will go up to 5% in 2005 and 8% in 2010. Natural gas storage is a subject of great interest to many industries and particularly to transportation. Compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas and adsorbed natural gas are techniques widely used. The possibility of developing a convenient storage system based on hydrate has been explored for about ten years around the world. Gudmundsson has focused on the storage and transportation of gas as hydrate at atmospheric pressure since 1990. Khokhar used 1, 3 - dimethylcyclohexane and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone as additives to lower hydrate formation pressure. Saito surveyed the effects of tetrahydrofuran and acetone. Rogers used sodium dodecyl sulfate as accelerator to natural gas hydrate formation
