Microsoft has entered into an agreement with Ebb Carbon for 1,333 tons of CO₂ removal with options for an additional to 350,000 tons over ten years, signaling confidence in Ebb Carbon’s ocean-based, verifiable marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) technology.

•   Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) credits have consistently priced above $1,000 per ton, underscoring both the challenges of direct CO₂ removal and the high value placed on technologies capable of removing previously emitted carbon.

•   This marks a significant step toward scaling Ebb Carbon's technology. The initial phase will deliver 1,333 tons of CO₂ removal, with Microsoft holding an option to secure up to an additional 350,000 tons over the next decade.

•   Ebb Carbon's technology harnesses the ocean's natural capacity for CO₂ capture, offering a pathway to scalable, large-scale carbon removal. By increasing seawater alkalinity through electrochemical processes, Ebb Carbon enables the ocean to absorb more atmospheric CO₂ and store it as stable bicarbonate ions, providing a long-lasting solution for carbon storage.
