METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING, STORING AND USING NATURAL GAS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently transporting, storing and using a natural gas because an LNG (liquefied natural gas) plant for liquefying the natural gas, a transport means such as an LNG ship for transporting the natural gas at an extremely low temperature and storage facilities capable of being stored are required and a construction cost for facilities and a running cost therefor are then increased when transporting, storing and using the natural gas as the LNG. SOLUTION: The produced natural gas is mixed and brought into contact with water at the prescribed temperature over the equilibrium pressure to generate a hydrate thereof by hydrating and a flammable slurry medium is added to the hydrate to synthesize a hydrate slurry fuel. The hydrate slurry fuel is transported to the prescribed place and stored thereat.
