Modelling of coastal flooding due to the dissolved CO2 in the ocean emitted from oil refinery

Objective of this research paper is to study the carbon dioxide emission emitted from
oil and gas activity which will affect the rising of sea level. This thesis focuses on the
rising of sea level in Malaysia and the impact of global mean sea level rise. There are
two objectives that govern the flow of this research which, to determine amount of
emitted carbon dioxide from oil refinery. Then specific heat capacity equation is used
to determine the relationship of the emitted carbon dioxide to the rising of sea level
and also coastal flooding which will impact the coastal community. One of the problem
of dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean is that as sea level rise, the carbon sink of the
ocean will decrease, therefore resulting in the reduction of carbon uptake in the ocean.
Another factor that affects the ocean is as dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean
increases, the process of ocean acidification also increases where carbon dioxide
dissolved in the ocean produces carbonic acids where the pH of the ocean is reduced
and also causing the reduction of carbonate ions where shelled marine creatures such
as phytoplankton, and pteropods struggles to build their exoskeleton as they require
calcium carbonate which ocean acidification reduces the carbonate ion in the sea
