Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Carbon dioxide hydrate or carbon dioxide clathrate is a snow-like crystalline substance composed of water ice and carbon dioxide.[1] It normally is a Type I gas clathrate.[2] There has also been some experimental evidence for the development of a metastable Type II phase at a temperature near the ice melting point.[3][4][5] The clathrate can exist below 283K (10 °C) at a range of pressures of carbon dioxide. CO2 hydrates are widely studied around the world due to their promising prospects of carbon dioxide capture from flue gas and fuel gas streams relevant to post-combustion and pre-combustion capture.[6][7][8][9] It is also quite likely to be important on Mars due to the presence of carbon dioxide and ice at low temperatures.
