OCEAN CO2 SEQUESTRATION EFFICIENCY 1 Ocean CO2 Sequestration E±ciency from 3-D Ocean Model Comparison
The e±ciency of sequestering CO2 arti¯cially in the deep ocean is not well known. To estimate uncertainties, we made standard simulations in a diverse group of seven ocean models. Each model discretizes the ocean into a 3-D array of grid cells, and each includes a standard description of the inorgan...

The e±ciency of sequestering CO2 arti¯cially in the deep ocean is not well known. To estimate uncertainties, we made standard simulations in a diverse group of seven ocean models. Each model discretizes the ocean into a 3-D array of grid cells, and each includes a standard description of the inorganic ocean carbon cycle. Injection simulations with seven injection sites per run were made separately for three di®erent depths. At 3,000m, all models retained at least 97 % of the total injected CO2 at the end of the 100-year injection period; after 500 years, retention e±ciency ranged from 48 to 82%.
