Gas hydrates look like ordinary snow or ice, but they burn readily. This is due to gas molecules securely "packed" within a crystal lattice composed of water molecules. These compounds form at high pressure and low temperature and have great potential as containers for the safe storage and transportation of methane, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide....
The speaker, who for many years was deputy minister of finance of Russia and now teaches at the Higher School of Economics, arrived to the Institute of Geology and Petroleum Technologies today.
