CO2 Hydrate: A Novel Means of CO2 Disposal

The emission of CO from the energy sector of Iran has had a sharp increasing trend in recent years. It is anticipated that the emission of CO2 from power plants of Iran in 2025 will reach to 247 million tons per year. Hence, use of carbon capture and storage technologies in Iran looks vital. Capture and disposal of CO2 are actively being sought as a means to avoid release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. With the reality of increasing fossil fuel use, focus should be aimed at developing and deploying promising technologies that can prevent release of CO2 to the atmosphere.CO2 hydrate offer an alternative underground storage approach compared to conventional supercritical CO2 storage at higher temperatures. We briefly describe conventional approaches to underground storage, review possible approaches for using CO2 hydrate in CO2 storage generally and discuss the issues in its implementation
