In recent years, natural gas supplied approximately 20-25% of all energy consumed in the United States. Methane hydrate is a potentially enormous and as yet untapped source of methane. The Department of Energy's Methane Hydrate Research and Development Program has been tasked since 2000 to implement and coordinate a national methane hydrate research effort to stimulate the development of knowledge and technology necessary for commercial production of methane from methane hydrate in a safe and environmentally responsible way. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRealizing the Energy Potential of Methane Hydrate for the United States\u003c\/i\u003e evaluates the program's research projects and management processes since its congressional re-authorization in 2005, and presents recommendations for its future research and development initiatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Board on Earth Sciences and Resources\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309148898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309148894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447639585023,"sku":"9780309148894","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c699b3d-f5ac-48a9-a3b4-5eefc4fc5aa2.jpg?v=1777234041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/realizing-the-energy-potential-of-national-research-council-9780309148894","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
