청정에너지연구실은 가스 하이드레이트 (gas hydrate)의 에너지 및 환경 분야로의 응용에 관한 여러 연구를 수행하고 있다. 특히, 화석 에너지의 청정한 사용과 지구 온난화의 완화를 위하여 이산화탄소 회수 및 저장 (carbon dioxide capture and storage, CCS) 과 관련한 연구를 주로 수행하고 있으며, 미래 청정에너지원으로 주목받고 있는 천연가스 하이드레이트의 개발 및 생산, 기체 저장(천연가스, 수소), CO2 수송 및 석유/천연가스 생산시설에서 가스 하이드레이트에 의한 배관 막힘 현상을 방지하기 위한 유동안정성 확보(flow assurance)에 대한 연구도 수행 중이다.
Our major research interests are applications of gas hydrates to energy and environmental systems with a primary focus on CO2 capture and storage, gas storage and transportation (natural gas and H2), and flow assurance. Gas hydrates are solid inclusion compounds in which gas molecules are trapped within a crystal structure of water and have many technical applications due to their ability to capture specific guest components.
Our primary research focuses on the application of gas hydrates in energy and environmental systems, with an emphasis on CO2 capture and storage, gas storage and transportation (including natural gas and hydrogen), and flow assurance. Gas hydrates are crystalline compounds in which gas molecules are encased within water lattices. Their unique ability to selectively trap specific gases makes them highly valuable for various technical applications.
