Gas hydrates have recently emerged as a better alternative for the production

storage

and transportation of natural gases. However

factors like slow formation rate and limited storage capacity obstruct the possible industrial application of this technique. Different types of promoters and synergists have been developed that can improve the kinetics and storage capacity of gas hydrates. This review focuses on different kinetic promoters and synergists that can be utilized to enhance the storage capacity of hydrates. The main characteristics

structure and the possible limitations of the use of these promoters are likewise portrayed in detail. The relationship between structure and storage capacity of hydrates have also been discussed in the review. Current status of production of gas from hydrates

their restrictions

and future difficulties have additionally been addressed in the ensuing areas of the review.
