What are the opinions here on the Mallik 2002 test drilling for gas hydrates? Apparently they had succesfully exploited gas hydrates. At least for a few days before the well was capped.
This is still fossil fuel. I HOPE and pray to God that methane hydrates will never be exploitable, anywhere, because it would mean MASSIVE releases of greenhouse gases. Frying tonight?
"All the clean hydrogen we need to power the world is already contained in crystals at the bottom of the ocean called gas hydrates."
Taiwan geologists have confirmed the existence of more than 500 billion cubic meters of gas hydrate off the southwest coast, enough to meet the island's gas needs for over 60 years, a government geologist said on Monday.
But commercial extraction is likely much more than a decade away as techniques to tap the gas are still being developed, Wang Yunshuen, section chief of the mineral resources section, at the Central Geological Survey.
