Sequestration of CO2 streams is intended to be part of a suite of measures to tackle the challenge of climate change and ocean acid- ification, including, first and foremost, the need to further develop and use low carbon forms of energy and conservation measures to reduce emissions.

Guidelines on how to store CO2 in sub- seabed geological formations will be devel- oped for adoption by the Parties to the

London Protocol when they meet for their second session in November 2007. These guidelines will address how to store CO2 in a manner that meets all the requirements of the Protocol and is safe for the marine envi- ronment, over both the short- and long- term.
