How Could CO2 be stored in deep ocean?
Oceans can store CO2 because it is soluble in water. When the concentration of CO2 increases in the atmosphere, more CO2 is taken up by the oceans. Captured CO2 could potentially be injected directly into deep oceans and most of it would remain there for centuries. This could be achieved by transporting CO2 via pipelines or ships to an ocean storage site, where it would be injected into the water column of the ocean or at the sea floor. The dissolved and dispersed CO2 would then become part of the global carbon cycle.![Photo: #CCSGuide #Question6: How Could CO2 be stored in deep ocean?
