| Abstract | Key Customer Purpose : We need a better understanding of the potential implications for marine ecosystems of slow releases of CO2 in order to assess the potential risks associated with CO2 sequestration as a means of reducing emissions to the atmosphere. Summary Objectives To assess what impact slow and persistent releases of CO2 would have on the ecosystem of the North Sea. This will require a programme including modelling, to assess the rate at which released CO2 would disperse, mesocosm experiments to assess effects on controlled trial sites, and work to understand better the carbonate cycle and the effects of pH changes of this on the biochemistry of marine organisms. | |
