Combustible ice changes the world energy pattern

Li Jinfa, deputy director of the Geological Survey of Ministry of Land and Resources said, this meant China took the lead position in mining ‘combustible ice’. After Shale Gas Revolution in USA, it will be a new round of revolution called ‘Natural Gas Hydrate Revolution’ led by China that will drive changes in the world's energy pattern.

　　According to TASS news, Chinese experts have extracted samples from the seabed at depths of more than 1.2 kilometers. The underwater well is 285 kilometers southeast of Hong Kong. It is reported that one cubic meters of this substance is equivalent to 160 cubic meters of gaseous natural gas. A car with 100 liters of gas can travel 300 kilometers. If the car can be charged with the ‘combustible ice’, then theoretically, 100 liters of ‘combustible ice’ can sustain it for 50,000 kilometers. Clearly, the technology could ‘collapse’ the oil and gas prices in the world.
