MOLECULAR STORAGE METHOD AND MOLECULAR STORAGE FACILITY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce energy required for storing storage target molecules as clathrate hydrates more than conventional ones by relaxing conditions for generating clathrate hydrates with storage target molecules included therein more than conventional conditions.SOLUTION: A molecule storage method is intended to store storage target molecules as clathrate hydrates by allowing the storage target molecules to be included in a cage constituted by water molecules. The method employs, as reaction water for generating clathrate hydrates, water containing a larger ratio of water molecules with a mass number of 19 or more than a natural abundance ratio.
