Eb Carbon Port Angeles has launched a marine carbon removal pilot project on Washington Olympic Peninsula.
Startup uses an inverter chemical process to create sea water that is chemically more basic than acidic. Basic or alkaline water can capture carbon from the sea and safely store it. The strategy also helps to deal with the sea acidication to the sea reservoir and can harm or kill marine life.
Eb has been carbon To check its technology Energy Pacific North -West National Laboratory has been part of Sikkim Bay for two years. Last month the Startup Pierre-Paper Journal released data from that field study Border in the field of environmental engineeringTo ensure the protection of technology and effectiveness.
The initiative, known as Project Macoma, is located at Juan de Fucker Strait Port Angels Port. The short -term demonstration is designed to remove and store 250 tons of carbon annually and is expected to run until the spring of 2026.
“We are proud to create a blueprint for how safe and responsible carbon removal can lead to global climate goals when we protect local maritime health,” said Ben Tarbell, CEO of EBB Carbon.
Attempt “still a very much learning pilot – based on the foundation of the foundation we will scale our technology in a place where it can remove the Coor gigatons2“A spokesman for the organization through email says.
EBB Carbon is located in South San Francisco and launched four years ago. It has collected $ 40 million from investors and has 22 employees.
A year ago, EBB Carbon has probably signed a carbon removal agreement with Microsoft to lock with 350,000 tons2 Over the next decade. Tech giants are committed to financed for removing 1,333 tons of carbon with further purchase options.
Other companies in the Pacific North -West are developing carbon removal technology, including banu carbon, carbon coat, myo carbon, solid carbon and other carbon removal technology, using various carbon capture and removal techniques. The oil and gas giant Assistant British Columbia -based carbon removal company carbon engineering earned more than $ 1 billion two years ago.
Carbon removal has been controversial for many years, with skeptics arguing that techniques cannot increase enough to produce meaningful teeth at carbon level.
However, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel (IPCC) regarding climate change acknowledged the requirements of these strategies in fighting global warming, noted that Reported on April 2022: “It is not inevitable to be deployed in the e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-Europe.”
