Company Description

Carbon Ridge (CR) is reducing CO2 emissions from maritime shipping. We've built a next-generation and patent-pending carbon capture solution for the maritime industry which reduces key capture equipment size by 75% and energy consumption by over 50% compared to conventional technology. We've developed the most low-cost, seamless and near-term method to significantly reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by large maritime vessels. Global shipping is now regulated to reduce CO2 emissions, making CR's tech not a nice-to-have, but a must-have.
