Processes for forming and sequestering COclathrates in a marine environment are disclosed. 1. A method of sequestering clathrates , comprising:{'sub': '2', 'forming a COclathrate, and'}{'sub': '2', 'encapsulating the COclathrate within a molecular barrier.'}2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:{'sub': 2', '2', '2, 'depositing the encapsulated COclathrate on the ocean floor at a sufficient depth such that the COclathrate will not decompose into liquid or vapor COand water.'}3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the depositing comprises transferring the encapsulated COclathrate to a seagoing vessel; transporting the seagoing vessel to a deposition location; and depositing the encapsulated COclathrate on the ocean floor.4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the COclathrate is formed and encapsulated on a seagoing vessel.5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the depositing comprises transporting the seagoing vessel to a deposition location; and depositing the encapsulated COclathrate on the ocean floor.6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the forming further comprises injecting the COclathrate with a hydrate formation promoter.7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the hydrate formation promoter is one of acetone claim 6 , propane claim 6 , isobutane claim 6 , cyclopentane claim 6 , carbon tetrachloride claim 6 , bromoform claim 6 , chloroform claim 6 , ethylene dichloride claim 6 , methylene chloride claim 6 , methyl iodide claim 6 , methylene iodide claim 6 , and the tri-halogen compounds of methane and ethane claim 6 , propylene oxide claim 6 , 1 claim 6 ,4-dioxane claim 6 , tetrahydrofuran and HS claim 6 , surfactants (e.g. TBAB—Tetra n-Butyl Ammonium Bromide claim 6 , TBAF—Tetra n-Butyl Ammonium Fluoride claim 6 , TBACl—Tetra n-Butyl Ammonium Chloride) claim 6 , and enzymes (glucoamylase).8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the hydrate formation promoter is one of isobutane claim 7 , tetrahydrofuran claim 7 , and HS.9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:{'sub': 2 ...
