“…Natural gas hydrate (also known as combustible ice) is considered a potential clean energy. Therefore, the energy resource of natural gas hydrate was a major direction for gas hydrate research. − In addition, the formation and accumulation of gas hydrate can plug gas and oil pipelines, which stimulate lots of relative studies on gas hydrate formation, accumulation, deposition, and gas hydrate inhibitors for gas hydrate plug prevention. − The third direction is the hydrate-based method, which can be used for gas storage, − gas mixture separation, − gas storage and transportation, , cold energy storage, , desalination, , CO 2 capture and sequestration, , and so on.…”
