There are other sources of carbon and hydrocarbons in North America such as the Alberta Tar Sands, The Wyoming Oil Shales, and the Offshore Methane Hydrates, all of these can be accessed for some finite price.

Hydrates have also been produced in the lab to use for purification purposes — like water desalinization — since the compounds take up pure water and leave behind impurities.

Methane Clathrate -- also known as Methane Hydrates or Gas Hydrates -- is a form of naturally occurring water ice that contains a large amount of methane within its crystal structure.

-
Hydrates, which are ice-like crystals that form when frigid seawater combines with natural-gas molecules, derailed a separate containment effort that BP attempted last month.
-
Hydrates (in this case) are crystals that are often formed when methane hits water under the right conditions.

-
Hydrates might also be used to ship methane — the idea would be to produce hydrates from natural gas and then ship them in that solid form for greater safety and efficiency.
-
Hydrates are most often treated by injecting methanol or chemical inhibitors into the well stream, and sometimes by applying heat.

Hydrates became the focus of scientific study in the 1940s, when industry scientists discovered that methane hydrate was clogging up pipelines.
