Chemists create 'powdered methane'
Gas can be stored in dry water

Summary:
Scientists have created powdered methane through a reaction with silica and water. The structure of the powdered methane is like that of a hydrate. Cold temperatures are required for hydrate stability but researchers are working on stability at room temperature with salts dissolved in water. It is possible that powdered methane could be used as an alternative to compressed natural gas (CNG) when production of powdered methane is economically feasible.
My comments:
Where can I get some of this stuff for my research! This is an interesting prospect, especially as we transition from fossil fuels to alternative forms of energy.
