While completely true, this misses the crucial detail that burning the methane clathrates is pretty much the best case scenario for their release. They're coming out, one way or another. Right now, that means melting as methane, or burning to produce energy, yielding CO₂ — which, yes, would ideally be captured.
Which would you prefer?
- erikpukinskis 9y agoMaybe a better thing would be to use some of the energy to convert the rest to hydrogen for more stable storage?
- rosser 9y agoIn the abstract, sure. In the concrete, how viable is that technology? How efficient is it? How much of a hydrogen based energy storage infrastructure do we have to leverage for that?
