One promising solution for underground energy storage is the use of subsurface CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate capsules, which act as impermeable vessels that store compressed fluids and discharge them upon need. However, as part of the proof-of-concept study of this technology, the feasibility of constructing such vessels, e.g. CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate capsules, has yet to be demonstrated. This work employed CO<sub>2</sub> gas injection assisted by chemical solution into partially water-saturated sand sediments to synthesize CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate capsules. The concentrations of chemical solutions (THF, CP and DIOX) were screened out in the gas/liquid/sand system in terms of kinetic promotion, using a rocking cell. Separately, experiments were carried out with a new high-pressure chamber set-up that quantified the effects of water saturation and chemical promoters on the efficiencies of CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate synthesis in confined partially water-saturated sand. Results on the gas/liquid/sand system showed that 0.025 water/CP weight ratio CP solution and 1.3mol% THF solution induced the largest pressure drops of 18.4 ± 0.2 bar and 16.7 ± 0.1 bar, respectively, indicating the most promoted CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate formation kinetics.
