“…Recently, many researchers have focused on semiclathrate hydrates owing to their possible applications in gas storage and transportation, gas separation, etc. [5][6][7][8] Hydrate technology, as an emerging approach for solidifying natural gas, is considered an alternative to liqueed natural gas (LNG) or compressed natural gas (CNG) technologies for natural gas storage and transportation. 9 The application of hydrate technology to gas storage and transportation has several advantages compared with CNG and LNG, including lower cost, improved safety, and higher efficiency.…”
