A pilot project proposed in Port Angeles, Washington is designed to test whether seawater can be used to soak up more carbon dioxide from the air. “Project Macoma,” as the proposed pilot is named, is an effort by a company called Ebb Carbon. It is a first-of-its-kind pilot project that has the potential to remove carbon dioxide from marine waters. The project would use new electrochemical technology to speed up how fast the ocean can absorb CO2. The technology will pull seawater from Port Angeles Harbor and treat it to make the water less acidic, then return the water back…
