Deep ocean storage includes direct injection of liquid carbon dioxide into the water column at intermediate depths (1000-3000 m), or at depths greater than 3000 m, where liquid CO2 becomes heavier than sea water, so it would drop to the ocean bottom and form a so-called "CO2 lake." 3, record 1, English, - ocean%20storage

Not to be confused with "ocean sequestration."
