- China has successfully produced natural gas from methane hydrate, also known as "flammable ice", in an experimental project in the South China Sea.
- Flammable ice consists of methane trapped within water crystals, and has been identified as a potential new gas source for China, with the South China Sea thought to contain some of the world's most promising deposits.
- Japan reported a similar successful production test in May. India, Canada and the United States are also believed to be looking at hydrates as an alternative energy source.
