Gas hydrates are intermediate crystalline phases between water and ice that occur at high pressure and low temperature. The ability of certain gases to form hydrates at moderate pressure, low temperature, and in the presence of water could be used in gas capture and storage. This phenomenon could be used as a separation and storage platform between the source and the end user. The presence of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in this technology could improve its efficiency for commercial use. In this proposal, we investigate the performance of MOFs and the improvement of hydrate technology by MOFs for the capture and storage of CO2 or H2.
