Kurzbeschreibung
The German gas hydrate initiative “SUGAR – Submarine Gas Hydrate Reservoirs” is a collaborative R&D project with 20 partners from SMEs, industry and research institutions. The project is coordinated by the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. SUGAR was launched in 2008 and is now successfully continuing in its 3rd phase. The SUGAR project has set out to develop marine methane hydrates as a new, unconventional resource of natural gas and to combine its production with the safe sequestration of carbon dioxide from power plants and other industrial sources in CO2 hydrates below the seafloor. This large-scale national project is funded by two federal ministries and the German industry.
