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.

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.

This startup is helping the ocean absorb more harmful carbon emissions
Removing carbon from the atmosphere is a growing field of business in the fight against global warming, but it’s not just big air vacuums doing the work. New technology is targeting an even bigger potential resource: the ocean.

Ebb Carbon wants to pull CO₂ from the sky with electricity and seawater
At a waterfront lab in Sequim Bay, a quiet inlet on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, the startup Ebb Carbon is trying to answer a crucial question for the climate: Can we supercharge the ocean’s role as a carbon sink to help limit global warming?

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.
