Due to government instability in countries where most of our global oil resides, we are forced to look for alternative sources of energy. Gas hydrates are a possible solution to this crisis because of the enormous amount of stored energy they possess. Hydrate reserves exceed conventional carbon reserves and mostly contain natural gas, the cleanest burning of all available fossil fuels. They are also being viewed as a potential method for removing harmful carbon dioxide emissions from thermal power plants in order to abide by the Kyoto protocol. The proposed research program will attempt to provide necessary information for the design of safe, economical, and environmentally acceptable processes and facilities to deal with hydrate-forming systems, and for the exploitation of in-situ methane hydrate as a future energy resource. The outcome of such work has the potential to place Canada at the forefront of technology related to the recovery, storage and transportation of natural gas trapped in hydrate form as well as carbon dioxide emissions capture and storage. The work will primarily be performed on methane and carbon dioxide hydrates and can be broken down into phase equilibria, morphology and kinetics studies of these hydrate systems.

由于全球大部分石油所在国家的政府不稳定，我们被迫寻找替代能源。天然气水合物是解决这一危机的一个可能的办法，因为它们拥有巨大的储存能量。 海伯利安的储量超过了传统的碳储量，主要含有天然气，这是所有可用化石燃料中最清洁的燃烧。它们也被视为消除火电厂有害二氧化碳排放的潜在方法，以遵守京都议定书。 拟议的研究计划将试图为设计安全、经济和环境可接受的处理水合物形成系统的工艺和设施以及开发作为未来能源的原位甲烷水合物提供必要的信息。 这项工作的成果有可能使加拿大在与水合物形式的天然气的回收、储存和运输以及二氧化碳排放的捕获和储存有关的技术方面处于最前沿。这项工作将主要在甲烷和二氧化碳水合物上进行，并可分为这些水合物系统的相平衡，形态和动力学研究。
