Summary: | The impact of CO sub(2) storage in the deep ocean is a function of the CO sub(2) concentration and local carbonate equilibrium conditions. The discharge of stored CO sub(2) into the deep ocean in the Northwestern Atlantic near New York and the Northeastern Pacific near San Francisco. Strong currents in the Atlantic simulation resulted in more extensive dispersion of CO sub(2). Lower concentrations of CO sub(2) and a higher initial pH and calcite saturation state resulted in a lower environmental impact in the Atlantic. Most notably, in the Pacific simulation stored CO sub(2) lowered the calcite saturation state to nearly undersaturated conditions. |
