1️⃣ "@ebbcarbon with aquaculture farms, desalination plants, ocean research labs, and other industrial sites that process seawater."
2/10
2️⃣ "Ebb intercepts existing salt water flows at the facility and processes the water before it returns to the ocean."
3/10
3️⃣ "Using low carbon electricity, Ebb run the salt water through a stack of ion-selective membranes that separate it into acidic and alkaline solutions."
4/10
4️⃣ "Ebb measure and monitor the pH level and volume of the alkalinity we produce in real time. This enables us to safely return it at levels within the ocean's natural pH variance."
5/10
5️⃣ "Ebb return the alkaline solution to the sea, where it immediately lowers the acidity of the sea water locally."
6/10
6️⃣ "Over weeks to months, the alkaline solution reacts with dissolved CO2 in seawater to create bicarbonate (HCO3), a stable form of carbon storage for 10,000+ years."
7/10
7️⃣ "With more CO2 locked away as bicarbonate, the ocean will naturally equilibrate and sequester more CO2 from the air. Ebb measures the CO2 removed from the air using sensors in the water and ocean and carbonate chemistry models."
8/10
8️⃣ "By partnering with the ocean, Ebb Carbon has the potential to be one of the most energy efficient and cost effective ways to reverse the impacts of climate change both locally and globally."

@heirloomcarbon unveiled plans to deploy 2 facilities in Shreveport, Louisiana, capable of removing 320KtCO2 per year at scale. The first facility will remove 17KtCO2/yr, with the second scaling up to remove 100KtCO2/yr by 2026 & 2027, respectively.
Denmark is investing €1.35B into biochar carbon removal and plans to subsidize biochar carbon removal by up to €300/t. Additionally, Denmark has become the first country to introduce a €100/t CO2 tax in agriculture.
