An Experimental Investigation on the Kinetics of Integrated Methane Recovery and CO Sequestration by Injection of Flue Gas into Permafrost Methane Hydrate Reservoirs.

Large hydrate reservoirs in the Arctic regions could provide great potentials for recovery of methane and geological storage of CO. In this study, injection of flue gas into permafrost gas hydrates reservoirs has been studied in order to evaluate its use in energy recovery and CO sequestration based on the premise that it could significantly lower costs relative to other technologies available today. We have carried out a series of real-time scale experiments under realistic conditions at temperatures between 261.
