ones, which means you have to separate the methane from the water. There is currently no one single technique for accessing the potential of gas hydrates albeit many potential approaches. One method is the substitution of methane with carbon dioxide, a more stable thermodynamic gas. Sounds simple but realistically speaking, it is not.
In addition, gas hydrates normally form in sediment structures on the ocean floor. Removing gas hydrates will mean a change in the ocean bed structure and at worst, a possible collapse and destruction of valuable undersea ecosystems.
