For countries with limited access to conventional hydrocarbon gases, methane hydrates appear as a possible source of energy or as a strategic concern for the creation of alternative natural gas reserves. Currently, natural gas hydrates are beginning to be included in the considerations of gas supply for the next decades. From a perspective point of view, the accumulation of natural gas in the form of hydrate structures and subsequent release, if necessary, proves to be very advantageous. Storing gas in such a form creates an energy-efficient interest in developing and innovating technology in this area.
