Abstract

A countermeasure to global warming is removing high CO 2 amounts from the atmosphere and locating the emitted CO 2 into long-term stable carbon storage sites. The sequestration technologies must be reliable, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly. An alternative and innovative approach that may meet the sequestration requirements is CO 2 storage as clathrate hydrates in marine environments. Extensive research has been devoted to CO 2 -CH 4 replacement in natural gas hydrates. Another option is the direct formation of CO 2 hydrates into deep ocean water or into marine underfloor sediments. This article deals with the positioning of direct hydrate-based CO 2 storage among the other traditional geological options and the discussion of new, by-far, state-of-the-art knowledge required for the development of a hydrate-based CO 2 storage pathway that is reliable, stable, durable, efficient, and environmentally benign.
