In recent years, natural gas supplied approximately 20-25% of all energy consumed in the United States. Methane hydrate is a potentially enormous and as yet untapped source of methane. The Department of Energy's Methane Hydrate Research and Development Program has been tasked since 2000 to implement and coordinate a national methane hydrate research effort to stimulate the development of knowledge and technology necessary for commercial production of methane from methane hydrate in a safe and environmentally responsible way. Realizing the Energy Potential of Methane Hydrate for the United States evaluates the program's research projects and management processes since its congressional re-authorization in 2005, and presents recommendations for its future research and development initiatives."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Natural gas $z United States 650 0 $a Methane industry $z United States. 650 0 $a Energy development $z United States. 650 0 $a Renewable energy sources $z United States. 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.). $b Committee on Earth Resources 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.). $b Board on Earth Sciences and Resources. 856 41 $u http://books.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12831 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825063439.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4F2DBBC6A8B11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
