Key Points

The central aim is to explore the effectiveness of renewable surfactants in enhancing methane storage in clathrate hydrates.
Examined six anionic renewable surfactants with different counterions
Compared their effects on methane storage capacity in clathrate hydrates
Analyzed the environmental impact of using renewable versus synthetic surfactants
Renewable surfactants significantly increased methane storage density
The most effective surfactant exhibited rapid clathrate formation
Results suggest a sustainable alternative to traditional synthetic promoters for gas storage
