Abstract

CO2 in, CH4 out! From NMR spectroscopic measurements of composition and kinetics, it can be shown that the recovery of methane from methane hydrate is possible through its reaction with CO2 (see diagram), even though the yield is less than that expected from kinetic and thermodynamic arguments.
