In 1999, China first found a regular crystal in the South China Sea, and afterwards proved that the substance was combustible ice, and then the state carried out targeted exploration of this substance, and also specially set up a combustible ice 863 plan research group, and now it is proved that China's combustible ice reserves are roughly equivalent to 39 billion tons of oil equivalent, it can be said that China's combustible ice reserves rank first in the world, if reasonable exploitation and utilization, then China's combustible ice can be used for at least 100 years, and now people are more concerned about it, can it completely replace oil? Or is it a substitute for oil?

Combustible ice is currently more abundant on the earth, a more widely distributed natural resource, its full name is natural gas hydrate, the main component of methane, human beings first found combustible ice, was in 1934, when the former Soviet Union Siberia section of natural gas pipeline blockage, inspection found that the pipeline in this natural gas and water formed ice, can be burned, thus unveiling the prelude to human research on combustible ice, although China started late in this field, but now has come to the forefront of the world.

So can combustible ice replace oil? From the current human technical point of view, the difficulty of exploitation and the multiple perspectives of commercial development, it can not replace oil, at least for a long time, but the current combustible ice has been proven to be a very valuable natural resource, is a large-scale investment in the exploitation of combustible ice potential of human energy potential stocks, in order to extract combustible ice, China specially spent 6 billion yuan to build an advanced Blue Whale 2 mining platform, in the South China Sea to perform mining tasks. In fact, combustible ice can take some ways to decompose the chemical elements in it, through the study found that 1 cubic meter of combustible ice, can be decomposed into 0.8 cubic meters of water and 70-240 cubic meters of natural gas, many countries in the world have conducted research on combustible ice, Japan, Germany, the United States, India and other countries have also begun to develop a detailed development route of combustible ice, the U.S. Department of Energy has invested up to hundreds of millions of dollars in combustible ice mining projects for basic research work on combustible ice.

As the world's largest country in the world of combustible ice reserves, China also attaches great importance to the research of related topics, since the discovery of this substance in 1999, it has been continuously studied for many years, of which the more important one was built in 2012, The Ocean Vi investigated the combustible ice in the South China Sea, analyzing the reserves, depth, mining difficulty, purity, distribution and other related fields of research, in 2015, Qingdao's laboratory successfully simulated combustible ice for the first time, and the country also has a grand development plan for combustible ice. According to the national plan, in 2006 to 2020 is the investigation section of combustible ice, from 2020 to 2030 is the combustible ice trial mining stage, from 2030 to 2050 is combustible ice into the commercial production stage, which means that it will become an important energy source for mankind, in the current natural gas vehicle, plus a hundred liters of natural gas vehicles can run 300 kilometers, then the extraction of 100 liters of combustible ice, decomposed into natural gas, the vehicle can run at least 30,000 kilometers, because of the huge reserves, The energy contained in it is huge and small, so it is called "the energy of the future" by scientists, if China can successfully achieve large-scale mining of combustible ice, then the realization of energy upgrading, completely get rid of the development model of high pollution and high energy consumption will no longer be a dream.
