Ebb Carbon harnesses natural systems in the ocean to address three converging challenges: excess atmospheric carbon dioxide, water scarcity, and demand for critical minerals. Partnering with desalination and industrial operators, the company's electrochemical systems convert brine into additional freshwater, valuable minerals and chemicals, and alkaline seawater that permanently captures CO₂ while restoring ocean ecosystems. Ebb's technology integrates into existing infrastructure, turning waste into climate, water, and industrial value.

Notable Achievements

  • Signed carbon removal offtake agreements with Microsoft, Google, and Stripe.
  • Strategic partnership with the Saudi Water Authority, the world's largest desalination operator.
  • Project Macoma delivered its first verified carbon removal credits to a customer.

Currently Operating in Five Regions
