Yes this is part of the cause behind coral decline.

Of course, much of the potential energy contained in each barrel of crude oil would be forfeited as each refinery truck it to the dump in the form of unburned carbon.

What is the energy balance of that? The schemes I have heard about use new technologies to strip out hydrogen and oxidize the carbon and generate electricity in a combined fuel production/electricity generation station. Then the CO2 is buried. This was the model they were researching in the carbon mitigation program at Princeton. I haven't checked back to see where they are at now.
