It's difficult to talk about methane storage because the vast majority of usable methane at any given time is on the move, being delivered to end-users. read more

The second major way natural gas is stored is as a liquid in high pressure refrigerated containers. Since liquid methane has a much higher density than methane in the gas state, this method of storage is much more space efficient than others. read more

Large quantities of methane are stored in the Arctic in natural gas deposits, permafrost, and as undersea clathrates. Permafrost and clathrates degrade on warming, thus large releases of methane from these sources may arise as a result of global warming. read more
