Funded Activity Summary

Precision Spectroscopy of CO2 Exchange in Hydrates for Clean Energy Production. Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration is a widely considered climate change mitigation strategy. Clathrate hydrates of natural gas, found in deep-water ocean sediments, represent a tremendous opportunity for simultaneous carbon dioxide sequestration and clean energy production. By injecting carbon dioxide into the hydrate reservoir, methane can be displaced and replaced by carbon dioxide. This project will use Raman spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance imaged core-flood experiments to develop a fundamental understanding of the exchange mechanisms governing the replacement of the methane molecule in the hydrate cage with carbon dioxide. This knowledge will be critical for future development of these resources to safely extract methane from sub-sea hydrates.
