Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and its release in deep oceans and permafrost regions due to decomposition of methane hydrate, an ice-like crystalline, could potentially pose devastating threat to mankind. On the other hand, methane hydrate represents a vast energy potential to Australia and the remainder of the world. Understanding the mechanism of gas hydrate formation and dissociation is of fundamental importance to methane extraction and capture. This project employs state-of-the-art surface analytical tools to explore the mechanism of gas hydrate formation. The outcomes will strengthen Australia's leading role in scientific and technological development in this field.

甲烷是一种强大的温室气体，由于甲烷水合物分解而释放到深海和永久冻土区，可能对人类造成毁灭性威胁。另一方面，甲烷水合物对澳大利亚和世界其他地区来说代表着巨大的能源潜力。了解天然气水合物的形成和分解机理对甲烷的提取和捕获具有重要意义。本项目采用最先进的表面分析工具来探索天然气水合物的形成机理。这些成果将加强澳大利亚在该领域科技发展中的主导作用。
