Engineers used a depressurisation method that turns methane hydrate into methane gas.
Companies like Waste Management (NYSE: WM) have been installing turbines to convert captured methane gas from landfills into electricity for years.
However, the study warned that further research is needed to determine the long-term impacts of the natural gas hydrates -- essentially methane gas trapped in ice.
One ton of buried rubbish can produce 8000 cubic feet of methane gas which can be tapped, piped and made use of in industries and homes.
FORBES: Initiative Would Shutter California Nuclear Plants For Decades While Feds Ponder Waste
Dinosaur wind contained a high proportion of methane gas - powerful enough to damage the ozone layer, said the China Youth Daily quoting a French scientist.
Both the VML and Speedway Landfill produced methane gas, but the VML produced a greater quantity of methane gas because of the nature of the materials deposited.

While second generation biofuels are produced from non-edible feedstocks like wood chips or methane gas emitted from landfills, currently available biofuels are generated almost exclusively from corn.
In other words, the extraction process, if done improperly, could cause sudden disruptions on the ocean floor, reducing ocean pressure rates and releasing methane gas from hydrates.
At first, workers reported only minor damage underground but later more serious problems developed and cracks caused by the tremor caused methane gas to flood into the area.
When materials in a landfill decompose, methane gas is produced.

In colorful detail the original lawsuit said that Calvert and Guido created partnerships purportedly owning methane gas production facilities at landfills in Puerto Rico, Illinois, New York and Connecticut.
More than 50 million years ago, undersea landslides resulted in the release of methane gas from methane hydrate, which contributed to global warming that lasted tens of thousands of years.
Additionally, because of poor drainage, water ponds formed on the VML. These water ponds produced more methane gas, and the subsequent runoff traveled back into the VML and the Speedway Landfill.
