Gas Hydrate in Carbon Capture, Transportation and Storage: Technological, Economic, and Environmental Aspects

This book offers a deep insight into gas hydrate-based carbon capture, transportation, and storage technology as a solution to decarbonization. The key aspects of carbon capture & storage technologies are discussed together with their advantages and status of development and commercialization. The authors delve into intricacies of gas hydrate reactor design, provide a review on the Techno-Economic Aspects (TEA), expound critical safety considerations and elucidate upon the regulatory mandates shaping the landscape of decarbonization initiatives.

Gas Hydrate in Carbon Capture, Transportation and Storage: Technological, Economic, and Environmental Aspects is an essential resource for all academicians, researchers, flow assurance engineers, industry professionals and students working in this field.
