Carbon Ridge

Carbon Ridge is a climate technology startup based in Santa Monica, California, founded in February 2021.

The company specializes in modular onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) solutions for the maritime shipping industry. Its mission is to facilitate rapid and cost-effective decarbonization for commercial shipping, helping vessels comply with evolving regulations like the IMO's carbon intensity targets. The core offering of Carbon Ridge is its proprietary OCCS technology, which captures carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants from a ship's exhaust and stores them in liquified form onboard. The system features a centrifugal amine capture process that efficiently reduces shipboard CO2 emissions by over 90% and eliminates more than 99.9% of particulate matter and other harmful emissions. Carbon Ridge also provides comprehensive services, including CO2 transportation, sequestration, and carbon credit monetization, targeting maritime shipping companies and industrial clients primarily in North America.
