Abstract
A hydrocarbon-forming gas compression method comprising: a hydrate formation step in which water and hydrate-forming gas are mixed at a first pressure and a first temperature, resulting in the formation of hydrate; a decomposition step in which the hydrate is warmed, and the hydrate is decomposed to re-generate hydrate-forming gas at a second pressure higher than the first pressure.
