CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate formation and dissociation is crucial for hydrate-based CO<sub>2 </sub>capture and storage. Experimental and calculated phase equilibrium conditions of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) hydrate in porous medium were investigated in this study. Glass beads were used to form the porous medium. The...
