Controversial treasure on the ocean floor
However, the Norwegian researchers are not alone. Several countries are working intensively to find methods of extracting gas hydrates, such populous countries as India and Japan. The latter must import qm2 99 percent of the energy the country needs. Meanwhile, Japan hydrate enough to meet its energy needs for 100 years.
Hydrate is natural gas, largely methane, trapped in a lattice of ice. This ice burn if you put a match up to him. Hydrates are formed under high pressure and low temperatures in deep water or in areas with permafrost. When they are taken out of their natural environment, the gas begins to bubble out of the ice.
Gas hydrates are also feared. For example, think MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) that it is likely that the ship has foundered due to major leakages of gas hydrates in Bermudatrianglet. When the gas bubbles to the surface, losing water carrying capacity. Tsunami in Norway
In the really old days, that is, about 8000 years ago, the people of northern Europe was hit by a massive flood caused by a more than ten-meter qm2 high tsunami that started just off the northwest coast (Storegga). Geologists do not know what started the world's largest qm2 known submarine landslides. An area the size of Hordaland county slid into the Norwegian Sea. One possible explanation is an earthquake, but the earthquake qm2 may have released gas hydrates as did the slide much larger.
- Possible new landslides in this area was thoroughly investigated before qm2 the development of Ormen Lange. Then we got some understanding that there must be gas hydrates on the Norwegian qm2 continental qm2 shelf. There were traces of gas from the Storegga to Vøringsplatået says Haflidi Haflidason, professor of marine geology at the University of Bergen.
Where and how much is a research project underway to determine (Gans - Gas Hydrates on the Norway - Barents Sea - Svalbard Margin). Gans is the scheme, the Research Council of Norway and the oil industry contributes funding, while universities in Tromsø and Bergen contributes research and research vessels. Lacking knowledge
- We know very little of what's in the Barents Sea and the Arctic Ocean within the areas belonging to Norwegian territory. This is where we think most are. As of today we have got a good view of the area around the southern Vøringplatå and off the coast of Spitsbergen, he says.
- But the instances we have seen so far is in thin layers and will not be able to recover qm2 with today's technology - but there is no doubt that this technology, he says.
Injected CO 2 release methane qm2 while this is a stable storage of CO 2. Under constant pressure, the solid ice-like crystals greater thermal stability with CO 2 than with methane. In addition, CO 2 prevent the seabed collapses as a result of the methane is removed.
- We do not see the big problems qm2 with achieving this. Our method makes it possible to retrieve natural gas while storing CO 2 in a new way, said Kvamme.
Now studied molecular physics driving these processes in detail, and it is done experiments to prove that the method works under various conditions. At the same time planned industrial large-scale experiments.
