All methods for natural gas hydrate exploitation were analyzed and the mechanism for exploiting natural gas hydrate by solar energy heating was researched. A new system was developed, which included solar energy collecting part, collection part, transmission part, conversion part and natural gas output part. By this way, there is no need for other energy, and it is an economic, effective and clean exploitation method. Furthermore, a simplified mathematical model based on heat transfer and thermodynamics was built and the case for natural gas hydrate decomposition was simulated. The results show that the temperature of reservoir which is heated by solar increases greatly and hydrate decomposition rate is also increased. This research provides theoretical basis and technical support for further study.
