This tech uses seawater to fight climate change—and stops another ocean disaster in the process

The ocean can suck up a lot of carbon (good!) but that process makes the water dangerously acidic (bad!). Ebb Carbon has found a way to put more carbon in, while lowering the acidity levels at the same time.

Interview With Ebb Carbon Founder Ben Tarbell

"The ocean is the unsung hero of climate change and it’s been pushed to its limits... we have both an obligation and an opportunity here to help the ocean by aiding its ability to sequester CO₂ and clean up some of the damage that humanity has caused it through carbon emissions and warming."

Meet Ebb Carbon, the Startup Turbocharging Ocean-based Carbon Removal

Oceans are large carbon sinks, absorbing CO₂ and using it to form bicarbonate—essentially, baking soda—that safely stores carbon for thousands of years. But this carbon removal process currently happens over millions of years, and is being hampered by climate change. That’s where Ebb Carbon... comes in.
