This paper analyzes gas hydrate technologies for supplying gas to the Arctic regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). An experimental study of the hydrates formation and decomposition in bulk water and salt solutions of different concentrations demonstrated the feasibility of using gas hydrate technology for the accumulation, storage, and transportation of natural gas under the region's climatic conditions and existing transport infrastructure. Experiments demonstrated the concentration of C2-C4 hydrocarbons in the hydrate phase during hydrate formation in salt solutions, leading to an increase in the fat content and calorific value of the original gas. It is shown that the cold climatic conditions of the Arctic regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) allow to use gas hydrates as an additional energy source.
