Abstract A porous medium with a high specific surface area can be used to promote hydrate formation. In this work, the kinetics of methane (CH4) hydrate formation in the presence of corn cobs and Tetrahydrofuran was systematically studied by determining the hydrate formation process, induction time, gas uptake, and hydrate formation rate. The results showed that hydrates form immediately as the CH4 loading and the multi-stage of hydrate formation is observed. Relative to THF solutions, the addition of corn cobs has a positive effect on CH4 uptake at THF concentrations
