In recent years the topic of naturally occurring gas hydrates has attracted major interest worldwide due to the fact that they may play a dominant role as possible energy resources in the future. Other positive applications include carbon dioxide sequestration, water desalination and natural gas storage and transportation. Finally the use of their dissociation energy can be applied in refrigeration processes and cool storage. In this article the historical background and development of gas hydrates and natural gas hydrates and the applications of gas hydrates is reviewed as well as the necessary fundamental information about the structure of gas hydrates.
