| 20120012321 | Method for Producing Natural Gas from Hydrocarbon Hydrates While Simultaneously Storing Carbon Dioxide in Geological Formations - The invention relates to a method for extracting methane from methane hydrates, comprising the following steps: feeding carbon dioxide to the methane hydrate deposits; allowing the carbon dioxide to take effect on the methane hydrate to release methane and store the carbon dioxide as carbon dioxide hydrate; and removing the released methane, characterised in that the fed carbon dioxide is supercritical carbon dioxide. | 01-19-2012 |
