Sequestration of CO2 beneath the sea floor may offer the best option for large-scale storage of industrial CO2 emissions because it avoids potential hazards from direct ocean injection, including harming ocean ecosystems, while also avoiding challenges/risks posed by onshore geologic sequestration. However, to date, there has been little examination of the economics of off shore storage in literature. In this paper the authors estimate the cost of storing CO2 in marine strata within the US Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Their results show that there is substantial capacity for sequestering industrial CO2 emissions beneath the sea floor within the US EEZ, but that doing so would be nearly twice as expensive (including transport costs) as storing CO2 onshore.
