Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method of and a tank for utilizing a material comprising a porous material (14, 20, 27), a host compound, such as water, and one or more lower hydrocarbons serving as gust compound wherein a novel and beneficial hydrate-like matter of the lower hydrocarbons are formed inside the fine pores of the porous material (14, 20, 27). The invention is applicable to a method of supplying city gas, a method of controlling a feed of city gas, a city gas tank for supplying city gas or controlling a feed of city gas, a portable and replaceable fuel gas tank, a fuel gas tank for automobile, and the like by utilizing the formation action of the material containing the hydrate-like matter of lower hydrocarbons inside the fine pores of the porous material (14, 20, 27) and the separation and release action of the lower hydrocarbons from the material. <IMAGE>
