This startup founded by ex-Tesla, Google, and SolarCity staffers uses the ocean for carbon removal. Check out the 13-slide pitch deck Ebb Carbon used to raise $20 million.
Ebb Carbon has developed an electrochemical process that removes acidity from seawater while enhancing its ability to store carbon dioxide. It emulates a natural process but does it at a much faster pace, cofounder and CEO Ben Tarbell told Insider.
Ebb Carbon plugs its system – packaged up in two standard 20-foot shipping containers – into desalination plants, salt producers, or aquaculture facilities and intercepts salt water before it's flushed back into the ocean. The process removes acidity from the water and returns it to the sea, at which point it is slightly more alkaline. This kickstarts a chemical reaction that draws down Co2 and converts it to bicarbonate, the company claims.
Ebb Carbon's process is less energy intensive than existing carbon capture and storage solutions, Tarbell said. That's thanks to the fact it's taking advantage of the ocean's surface area to collect Co2, mix the alkaline water, and actually store the bicarbonate – so the company doesn't need to use energy to compress carbon and bury it deep underground, he said.
