Abstract
Gas is the fuel of the future, especially in circumstances in which cutting CO2 emissions to the atmosphere is an objective to slow the increase in greenhouse effect of the atmosphere. Natural gas could be envisaged as a bridge fuel from higher CO2 producing combustibles to a non-CO2 renewable energy situation. In addition, because NGH is generally in the process of crystallizing in the vicinity of existing deposits now, replacement NGH may form in relatively short periods of time within a deposit under production. This gives NGH the peculiar attribute of being a clean, renewable, combustible fuel.
