Ebb develops electrochemical water technology that processes desalination brine to produce additional freshwater and valuable industrial products. This process also facilitates permanent atmospheric carbon dioxide removal by returning alkaline seawater to the ocean. The modular systems integrate with existing desalination infrastructure to enhance water security and support decarbonization efforts.

Problem
Rising atmospheric CO₂ levels are causing climate change and ocean acidification, threatening marine ecosystems and coastal communities. Existing carbon removal solutions often lack the scalability and durability needed to counteract these effects effectively.
Solution
Ebb Carbon employs electrochemical ocean alkalinity enhancement to accelerate the natural process of CO₂ removal from the atmosphere. Their approach uses electrochemistry to remove acidity from seawater, which then absorbs CO₂ from the air and stores it as bicarbonate for over 10,000 years. The system integrates with existing seawater processing facilities, returning alkaline seawater to the ocean to lower its acidity and remove CO₂. This method offers a durable, restorative, and scalable solution for carbon removal, with projections to achieve cost-competitive carbon removal credits under $100 per ton by 2028.
Target Audience
Ebb Carbon targets businesses, government agencies, communities, scientists, and philanthropies seeking high-quality, durable carbon removal solutions and ocean restoration.
