摘要

Gas hydrates have recently emerged as a better alternative for the production, storage, and transportation of natural gases. However, factors like slow formation rate and limited storage capacity obstruct the pos-sible industrial application of this technique. Different types of promoters and synergists have been developed that can improve the kinetics and storage capacity of gas hydrates. This review focuses on dif-ferent kinetic promoters and synergists that can be utilized to enhance the storage capacity of hydrates. The main characteristics, structure and the possible limitations of the use of these promoters are likewise portrayed in detail. The relationship between structure and storage capacity of hydrates have also been discussed in the review. Current status of production of gas from hydrates, their restrictions, and future difficulties have additionally been addressed in the ensuing areas of the review.
