N2  - Consumption of conventional reserves of fossil fuel has created a demand for exploring the new resources. In
Current Situation it is worthwhile addressing gas hydrates as one such alternative energy resource. Methane gas
hydrates have captured double amount of carbon in comparison to fossil fuels, hence they are seen as substitute
to Oil and Gas sector. They are present in permafrost regions and beneath the sea. They are considered as future
generation fuels. Like several other countries, India has also started a national gas hydrate programme and possible
exploitation of this important natural gas resource. This review article discusses their exploitation efforts put by
different countries in near past. India has recently competed National Gas Hydrate Programme NGHP-01 and
started NGHP-02 recently. The paper throws light on Field Testing of gas hydrates for Alaska North Slope Site, Mallik
Site, SUGAR Project, Qilan Mountain Permafrost and Nankai Trough in brief.
