Gas Hydrates: Resource and Hazard

Solid gas hydrates are a potentially huge resource of natural gas for the United States. The U.S. Geological Survey estimated that there are about 85 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of technically recoverable gas hydrates in northern Alaska.

Included is information on the Methane Hydrate Research and Development Act of 2000 and the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
