USGS
The World’s Largest Potential Energy Resource
February 18, 2008 | USGS

“Gas hydrates are a naturally occurring, ice-like combination of natural gas and water found in the world’s oceans and polar regions. These natural gas accumulations are estimated to greatly exceed the volume of all known conventional (commercial) gas resources. Currently, the technical challenges of realizing them as a resource are substantial.”
