	<span lang=\"X-NONE\">Single carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have the sorption states at around 200</span><span lang=\"X-NONE\"> </span><span lang=\"X-NONE\">K, and show the poor desorption characteristics at around 300</span><span lang=\"X-NONE\"> </span><span lang=\"X-NONE\">K. The bamboo-like CNTs, HP1050 and the ground HP1050 (HP-1050G), show the desorption peaks at around 100</span><span lang=\"X-NONE\"> </span><span lang=\"X-NONE\">K and 140</span><span lang=\"X-NONE\"> </span><span lang=\"X-NONE\">K, respectively. Furthermore, HP1050G has the sorption states at around 300</span><span lang=\"X-NONE\"> - </span><span lang=\"X-NONE\">400</span><span lang=\"X-NONE\"> </span><span lang=\"X-NONE\">K.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> On the basis of the sorption process, the ground bamboo-like CNT has a possibility for application to the room temperature storage of methane, which has utility for energy technologies such as fuel cells.</span>
