Abstract
This paper analyzes one of the most important environmental impacts of ocean disposal of CO2, the acidification around the release point. We present a methodology which allows us to quantify the effects of lowe r pH on marine organisms. Preliminary results show that some impacts a re inevitable around the release point, but their severity will depend on the release technology.
