“…Regarding the regulatory domain it is of utmost importance to state that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered one of the most promising mitigation strategies for carbon dioxide emissions sequestration to the atmosphere, thus, fostering the deceleration of global warming (Bonnail et al, 2021). There is an increasing demand for CCS sites, but there is a lack of knowledge of the environmental risk associated with potential leakage of carbon dioxide from the storage sites and, most important, what is happening when the seepage stops.…”

“…There is an increasing demand for CCS sites, but there is a lack of knowledge of the environmental risk associated with potential leakage of carbon dioxide from the storage sites and, most important, what is happening when the seepage stops. It remains questionable whether the environmental carrying capacity could fully rebound, returning to the initial equilibrium (Bonnail et al, 2021).…”

EU has set ambitious commitment to achieve low carbon energy and economy transition up to 2050. This low carbon transition means sustainable energy development path based on renewable energy sources and first of all should address the energy poverty vulnerability and justice issues. The main goal of the paper is to develop indicators framework for assessing low carbon just energy transition and to apply this framework for analysis how climate change mitigation policies in households targeting enhancement of energy renovation of residential buildings and promotion of the use of micro-generation technologies and other policies are affecting household’s energy poverty and vulnerability in selected countries: Lithuania and Greece. This framework allows to assess three main dimensions of sustainable energy development: environmental, social and economic. The paper provides policy recommendations how to deal with just low carbon energy transition which means addressing energy poverty issues during moving to 100% renewables in power generation based on performed case studies.

“…Due to their sedentary habits, low metabolic transformation rates and their ability to bioconcentrate pollutants, bivalves have been used as bioindicators suitable for monitoring studies in coastal areas such as useful bioindicators of persistent pollutants [46]. Studies using clams [47][48][49][50], mussels [51][52][53][54] and oysters [55][56][57] have been performed worldwide.…”

Integrated Assessment of CO2-Induced Acidification Lethal and Sub-Lethal Effects on Tropical Mussels Perna perna

Leakages of CO2 capture and storage systems from the seabed are able to cause significant adverse biological effects in marine species. Adult mussels were exposed to different CO2 enrichment scenarios (pH from 8.3 to 6.0) for 96 h, and endpoints (lysosomal membrane deterioration, lipid peroxidation and primary damages in DNA) were assessed. Mortality and reduced health status can occur after short exposure of the tropical mussel Perna perna to pH levels lower than 7.5. Results pointed out cytogenotoxic effects in the hemolymph and gills after 48 and 96 h of exposure, respectively. These findings should be considered when environmental monitoring approaches are performed in tropical marine areas employing CCS strategies.

“…The oceanic biogeochemical dynamics are increasingly relevant in the assessment of the ecosystem health, climate impacts, mitigation strategies, and planetary sustainability [4]. Some previous studies have indicated that OA over-calcifies marine organisms [6][7][8][9], marine bacteria [10][11][12], amphipods [13], macro-algae [14,15], or macro-fauna [16,17].…”

Could Acidified Environments Intensify Illicit Drug Effects on the Reproduction of Marine Mussels?

The increasing oceanic uptake is a direct response to the increasing atmospheric burden of CO2. Oceans are experiencing both physical and biogeochemical changes. This increase in CO2 hosts in oceans promotes changes in pH and seawater chemistry that can modify the speciation of compounds, largely due to dependent element speciation on physicochemical parameters (salinity, pH, and redox potential). So, ocean acidification can trigger enhanced toxicity of illicit drugs to non-target marine organisms due to the combined effects of crack cocaine and low pH (from 8.3 to 7.0 pH values) on the reproduction of the marine mussel Perna perna. Fertilization rate and embryo–larval development were used as endpoints to assess the effects of crack-cocaine concentrations (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mg L−1) and its association with pH values variation (8.3, 8.0, 7.5, and 7.0). The IC50 was calculated from the results of an embryo–larval assay in different methods of acidification (CO2 and HCl), which evidenced that HCl treatment was more toxic than CO2 treatment for the same drug concentrations. Results showed that the gametes of P. perna react to acidification when exposed to crack-cocaine concentration and pH reductions.
