Global Gas Hydrates Share, Size ,Growth, Global Future Prospects, Key Findings, Industry Demand, Regional Analysis, Key Players Profiles and Forecasts to 2027
Overview: Gas hydrates, also referred to as methane hydrates, are cage-structured lattices of water molecules which contains methane as the primary constituent. They are crystalline, naturally occurring, ice-like substances which occur beneath the sea bed and continental margins. They are a rich source of natural gas; and is produced at high pressure and low temperature at a depth of few hundred meters below sea level. Based on type, the global gas hydrates market has been segmented into onshore gas hydrates and offshore/ marine gas hydrates. The onshore gas hydrates segment account for the largest market share in 2017 owing to large reserves of gas hydrates in cold surfaces, less time consumption, and developed technologies. The offshore gas hydrates segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to high profitability and high methane content. By origin, the global gas hydrates market has been categorized into seabed, permafrost, and others.
