Last week, our CEO and Co-Founder, Ben Tarbell, testified before the U.S. House of Representatives, highlighting the critical role that marine carbon dioxide removal can play in addressing climate change. Ben also shared our progress in pioneering Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement as a scalable climate solution. With strong public-private partnerships 🤝, supportive federal policies 🏛️, and streamlined permitting ✅, we believe marine CDR has the potential to make a transformative impact in tackling the climate crisis 🚀. It's time to turn possibility into reality! 🌟 You can read Ben's testimony in full here: https://lnkd.in/ggmTb3wu
Last week, I had the privilege of testifying before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology alongside Noah Deich (DOE), Sarah Kapnick (NOAA), and Scott Doney (University of Virginia). I described the immense potential of marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and Ebb Carbon’s unique role in pioneering Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement as a scalable solution. It was a moment to share our progress, from early demonstrations at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to our proposed pilot in Port Angeles, WA. At Ebb, we’ve always believed that the way we remove the first 1,000 tonnes of CO2 will shape how we remove the next billion. But this work goes beyond technology—it requires strong public-private partnerships, community engagement, smart federal policies, and streamlined permitting pathways. These elements were critical to scaling solar energy, and I believe they will unlock the same potential for marine CDR. Now is the time to move from possibility to reality. We have a narrow window to accelerate the deployment of these vital climate solutions and I’m excited that we are working alongside the federal government and industry partners to make it happen. #CDR #mCDR #climateaction #carbonremoval #climatechange #climatesolutions
