The deep-six fix again
Article Abstract:
Injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gases into the shallow ocean floor is a practical strategy for preventing the CO2 from reaching the atmosphere. Power plants' release of CO2 has long prompted a search for a method of disposal more environmentally benign than simply discharging the CO2 into the air. Researchers P.M. Haugan and H. Drange determined that shallow bubbling of the CO2 stands the best chance of success, although usable injection sites must be found and local environmental ramifications examined before the plan can be realized.
