Natural gas is far and wide recognized as the cleanest burning fuel due to its relatively low carbon dioxide (CO2) production than coal and oil on combustion. Due to the continuous depletion of conventional natural gas resources, there is a rise in demand for unconventional natural gas sources such as gas hydrates, shale gas, and tight gas. Gas hydrates are non-stoichiometric, solid compounds formed by hydrogen-bonded water molecules in a lattice-like structure and gas trapped inside the water framework through van der Waals interaction. Among the concerns, this work essentially exploits the technological application of CO2 hydrates which includes carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), and gas storage. Moreover, this work is allied in developing strategies for the recovery of methane from gas hydrate reservoirs. Subsea CO2 storage through clathrate hydrate formation is a novel option for the reduction of atmospheric carbon content and permanent underground CO2 disposal over long geological periods. Likewise, the novel technology of storing natural gas in the form of hydrates can offer huge benefits. Coined as solidified natural gas (SNG) technology it has huge potential to store natural gas in compact hydrate structures offering a safe and environmentally friendly mode of natural gas storage and transportation. Since gas hydrate formation is heavily dependent on mass and heat transfer limitations even under favorable thermodynamic conditions, therefore this work focuses on additives that can enhance the kinetic efficiency of the process for large-scale implementation.
