The total amount of carbon present in this unique source far exceeds the conventional fossil fuels. This article briefly describes understanding of methane hydrates, their origin, occurrence, energy potential and their exploitation by techniques like depressurization, thermal stimulation, inhibitor injection, co2 sequestration, microwave technology, microwave and fluorine gas technology.
