Company mission
To unlock the ocean's power to solve climate change.
Our take
If humans didn’t produce so much carbon dioxide, the earth would be able to naturally regulate levels of it in the atmosphere - things like trees and seawater actively take carbon out of the air. Ebb Carbon’s aim is to enhance the ocean’s natural potential for carbon capture as a solution to the impacts of climate change.
Ocean carbon capture has a downside - it makes seawater overly acidic - but Ebb Carbon’s selling point is that their process of chemically boosting the carbon-storing potential of seawater goes hand in hand with their process for removing acid from the water to be used for various industrial applications. Less acidic seawater, less carbon in the air.
It’s far from the only company in the carbon capture market - there are a number of competitors doing similar work looking at storing carbon in rocks, or storing it in concrete to help construction industries reduce their footprint. But as the impacts of climate change are increasingly felt, investment in companies with the technologies to limit those impacts is growing rapidly.
