%X The presence of soil carbon(C) in permafrost and marine environment is not well understood, and thus their incorporation in the global C cycle is challenged. In this chapter, we briefly discussed the state of the art of soil C in the form of frozen C (CH4 hydrates) in the permafrost and marine environments. The global distribution and estimate of CH4 hydrates are discussed, alongside the dissociation potentials and its impact on climate change. The CH4C sinks and dissociation in the sea and permafrost are also discussed. The sink shows that very few gas hydrate locations in the world are possible to release significant C to the atmosphere. Lastly, the possible applications of gas hydrate as a future energy source and C storage techniques are discussed. There are huge CH4 frozen C in the marine and permafrost environment which are very vulnerable to dissociation owning to recent climate changes and may cause the release of a significant amount of CH4 to the atmosphere. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.
