Ebb Carbon is pioneering a new carbon removal solution by enhancing the ocean’s natural ability to safely store CO2. Ebb’s technology is designed to integrate with existing industrial facilities that process seawater, like desalination plants, which today represents over a billion tonnes of carbon removal once integrated. Ebb’s approach has the potential to be one of the largest scale and lowest cost approaches to removing excess CO2 from the air, while reducing ocean acidity locally.
