Canada, Japan test production of frozen gas thestar.com Feb 28, 2007 04:30 AM Japan's government said it will start test production of frozen natural gas in Canada's permafrost area as part of Japan's 16-year project to siphon gas from methane hydrate, a form of the fuel known as gas crystals. State-run Japan Oil, Gas, and Metals Corp. and Natural Resources Canada drilled a test well inside the Arctic Circle last Thursday. In March, they plan to start extracting gas from the hydrates, an ice-like form of methane trapped in oxygen and hydrogen, by depressurizing the icy gas crystals inside a drilled hole. Methane hydrate has to be depressurized or heated to be turned into gaseous form.
