Deep-sea sediments could safely store man-made carbon dioxide
Sediments at the bottom of the world's oceans could be the final resting place of carbon dioxide in plans to reduce the atmospheric burden of this gaseous residue of burning fossil fuels, according to researchers at Harvard University. Kurt Zenz House and Daniel Schrag, along with colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia University, have found that deep-sea sediments could be used as an almost bottomless sink for the gas, and estimate that sediments within US waters would be wholly adequate to sequester the nation's carbon dioxide emissions for thousands of years to come. The injection of carbon dioxide into ocean sediments hundreds of meters thick at the low temperature and high pressure of the ocean floor would make the carbon dioxide denser than the surrounding water and so ensure virtually permanent storage.
