Energy: Methane Hydrate

以目前的資料來看,一個單位體積的天然氣水合物,常溫常壓下,可以釋放出150-170單位體積的甲烷氣.

In normal temperature and pressure ,a unit volume of gas hydrate can release 150~170 unit volume methane.

一旦有火源將它點燃,就可以自己持續燃燒到完,天然氣水合物也稱為"可燃冰"或"甲烷冰".

It'll burn out if near to fire. Gas hydrate also called burning ice or methane ice.

天然氣水合物主要存在於極區的永凍層以及陸緣深水海域地層中.由國外的調查報告顯示,全球天然氣

水合物所含的甲烷氣資料量,在標準溫壓環境下,保守估計至少有兩萬兆立方公尺,其中所含的有機碳總

量達到10兆公噸,也就是大約為目前已知全球石化燃料等能源資源中,有機碳總儲量的兩倍.

And organic carbon stock 10 trillion metric tons,the double stock of fossil fuels found in the earth.

甲烷氣為溫室效應的主要原因,由於現在開採可燃冰的技術還不強,所以還在研發當中.

Methane is the main cause of greenhouse effect.So the mining and store technology have to improve.
