摘要:

天然气水合物(NGH)储量巨大,是新世纪的一种重要能源,研究NGH的开发、运输储存和利用具有极其重要的意义。介绍了NGH技术现状概况、生产工艺、储存和运输方法,并对NGH与液化天然气(LNG)技术进行了对比分析,认为与其他天然气储运技术相比,天然气水合物是一种高效、经济和安全储运方式。并对其应用前景进行了展望。 

Abstract:

At present, natural gas hydrate(NGH) considered to be a potential unconventional gas resource. It is meaningful to study the natural gas hydrate exploitation and various new technologies such as the storage of natural gas in the form of hydrates. This paper summarizes the development status of hydrate technologies all over the world, such as formation process, storage and transportation methods of NGH. Then the compare of natural gas transportation ways between in the form of NGH and LNG (liquefied natural gas) was made. The results indicated that the NGH is one of the high efficient,economical and safe storage and transportation methods. Finally, the utilization of NGH in future is expected.
