NPR's Here and Now visits Ebb Carbon to explore our marine carbon capture solution

Climate change is ravaging the oceans. Some startups see a solution in marine carbon capture.

With the flip of a switch at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s seaside facility in Sequim, Washington, a tangle of pipes and filters whirrs into action, scrubbing acid from the cool gray waters of the Salish Sea. It’s the pilot project of Ebb Carbon, one of several companies building a business on ocean carbon removal technology.

Ebb Carbon CEO Ben Tarbell shares Watt It Takes to slow global climate change

To slow global climate change, we need to find ways to supercharge natural carbon removal processes, and do it in a way that is good for the planet

That’s exactly what Ben Tarbell, Co-Founder and CEO of Ebb Carbon, is doing. I spoke to Ben about his journey, from his childhood spent obsessed with building and engineering, to his career in solar, to prototyping the Ebb system in a bathroom-less empty warehouse, to opening Ebb’s first site and starting to meaningfully remove carbon via the ocean.
