Sentences with phrase «methane at low pressure»

But researchers continue to hunt for materials that can store methane at low pressure, which would save energy and the cost of condensing the fuel.

Now, researchers have come up with a new material that's able to store a large volume of methane at low pressure.

Not exact matches

At a lower pressure — approximately 4 GPa — methane and molecular hydrogen interact, forming co-crystals (where two molecules together create one crystal structure), and at 6 GPa, hydrates — CO-crystals made of methane and water — are formeAt a lower pressure — approximately 4 GPa — methane and molecular hydrogen interact, forming co-crystals (where two molecules together create one crystal structure), and at 6 GPa, hydrates — CO-crystals made of methane and water — are formeat 6 GPa, hydrates — CO-crystals made of methane and water — are formed.

Natural methane hydrates were first discovered by Russian scientists in the late 1960s in Siberian permafrost — where the ground is so cold that hydrates can form at shallower depths and at lower pressures than under the sea — and then, in the 1970s, at the bottom of the Black Sea.
