Company mission
To unlock the ocean's power to solve climate change.
Our take
Without excess CO2 produced by human activity, the earth would be able to naturally regulate levels of it in the atmosphere. Forests, algae deposits and seawater are all natural carbon removers - but they can't keep up with anthropogenic emissions. Ebb Carbon’s mission is to enhance the ocean’s natural potential for carbon capture, and develop it into a solution to the climate change crisis.
The potential for ocean carbon capture is vast, but the downside is that it make seawater overly acidic. Ebb Carbon’s selling point is that it delivers not only a process for chemically boosting the carbon-storing potential of seawater, but also a process to remove the acid afterwards. The acid removed can then be used in various industrial applications - which makes it an economically win-win proposition.
Ebb Carbon is far from the only company in the carbon capture market. There are many businesses doing similar work storing carbon in rocks, or in concrete for use by the construction industry. But, as the impact of climate change continues to grow and worsen - and become increasingly visible to all - there's likely to be a wealth of interest, investment and opportunity on the table.
