Maria Gallucci of Canary Media writes on Ebb Carbon which is using the ocean to sequester CO2.
- Ebb Carbon is partnering with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to speed up the carbon sequestration potential of the ocean.
- The company splits saltwater with electrochemistry into its acidic and alkaline components and returns the alkaline water to the ocean where it creates a chemical reaction that traps CO2 at a faster rate.
- Since launching in 2011, Ebb has raised over $25 million to develop and deploy its electrochemical system, which can fit inside a 20-foot shipping container.
“The technology builds on years of research led by Matt Eisaman, the company’s CTO and co-founder, who recently joined Yale University’s Center for Natural Carbon Capture as a faculty member. Eisaman first met Tarbell, a former SolarCity executive, several years ago when both were working with Alphabet’s innovation arm, X.”
