“…Nations committed to these agreements often design their regulatory frameworks to align with the collective goals of mitigating climate change. The London Protocol and the OSPAR Convention specifically address the protection of the marine environment and regulate the disposal of waste at sea (Clarke et al, 2022). Offshore carbon sequestration projects must comply with these protocols to ensure responsible and environmentally sustainable practices.…”

As the global community intensifies efforts to combat climate change, subsurface carbon sequestration emerges as a promising avenue for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This paper delves into the geoscientific perspective on the potential for subsurface carbon sequestration in offshore environments. The introduction provides a backdrop on the significance of carbon sequestration and outlines the objectives of exploring the feasibility and challenges associated with offshore subsurface storage. The overview section explores the mechanisms and comparative advantages of offshore carbon sequestration. Geoscientific factors influencing carbon sequestration, including geological characteristics, reservoir assessment, and seismic imaging, are examined in detail. Challenges and risks, both geological and technological, are scrutinized to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complexities involved. Real-world case studies and ongoing research initiatives shed light on successful projects and emerging trends in offshore carbon sequestration. The economic and environmental implications are discussed, emphasizing the need for a thorough cost-benefit analysis and environmental impact assessment. The regulatory framework and compliance standards, both current and future, are explored to ensure responsible implementation. The paper concludes with insights into the future prospects of subsurface carbon sequestration, emphasizing emerging technologies, research priorities, and the imperative for responsible practices. This geoscientific exploration seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge guiding sustainable solutions for carbon reduction in offshore environments. Keywords: Subsurface, Carbon, Sequestration Potential, Offshore, Environments, Geoscientific.
