Gas hydrate synthesis is a safe and compact solution for energy storage, but slow formation kinetics are limiting its large-scale application. 
Using green promoters such as H-SSZ-13, L-tryptophan and a new reactor design, this study delivers very convincing results with improved methane capture and faster clathrate hydrate formation.
