Final Progress Report: Direct Experiments on the Ocean Disposal of Fossil Fuel CO2.

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

OAK-B135 This report summarizes activities and results of investigations of the potential environmental consequences of direct injection of carbon dioxide into the deep-sea as a carbon sequestration method. Results of field experiments using small scale in situ releases of liquid CO2 are described in detail. The major conclusions of these experiments are that mortality rates of deep sea biota will vary depending on the concentrations of CO2 in deep ocean waters that result from a carbon sequestration project. Large changes in seawater acidity and carbon dioxide content near CO2 release sites will likely cause significant harm to deep-sea marine life. … continued below

Smaller changes in seawater chemistry at greater distances from release sites will be less harmful, but may result in significant ecosystem changes.
