| Summary: | The idea of capturing and disposing of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the flue gas of fossil fuel-fired power plants has recently received attention as a possible mitigation strategy to counteract potential global warming due to the "greenhouse effect." One specific scheme is to concentrate the CO2 in the flue gas to over 90 mol %, compress and dehydrate the CO2 to supercritical conditions, and then transport it through a pipeline for deep ocean disposal. In Golomb et al. (1989), this scheme was studied, with emphasis on the CO 2 capture aspects. In this follow-on study, we concentrate on the mechanisms of releasing the CO 2 in the deep ocean.
