  • Description: Natural gas is a kind of low-carbon energy source with abundant reserves globally and high calorific value. It is cleaner and more efficient than oil and coal. Enlarging the utilization of natural gas is also one of the important ways to reduce carbon emissions in the world. Solidified natural gas technology (SNG) stores natural gas in solid hydrates, which is a prospective, efficient, safe and environmental-friendly strategy of natural gas storage and transport. However, the slow growth rate and randomness of nucleation during natural gas hydrate formation in pure water hinder the industrial application of this technology. As a kind of new and potential additives, biodegradable amino acids can be adopted as favorable kinetic promoters for natural gas hydrate synthesis. Compared with other frequently used chemical additives, amino acids are usually more friendly to the environment, and are capable of avoiding foam formation during complete decomposition of gas hydrates. In this paper, we have reviewed the research progress of gas hydrate generation under the promotion of amino acids. The formation systems in which amino acids can enhance the growth speed of gas hydrates are summarized, and the impact of the concentration in different systems and the side chains of amino acids on hydrate growth have been illustrated. The thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors as well as the morphology properties of hydrate formation with amino acids are summarized, and the promotion mechanism is also analyzed for better selection of this kind of potential additives in the future.
