Possible eco-impacts of CO2 leakage

Although scientists don't expect significant leakage of carbon dioxide (CO2) from large-scale carbon capture and storage projects, they have assessed the risks just in case. Using field experiments,observations of natural CO2 emissions and modelling, they have provided data to inform assessments of the possible impact of CO2 leakage on onshore and offshore ecosystems.
