Saudi Water Authority Partnership: building the model for scalable carbon removal

Nov 25, 2025

Ebb Carbon, a pion­eer­ing water tech­no­logy com­pany, has partnered with the Saudi Water Author­ity (SWA), the gov­ern­ment entity reg­u­lat­ing the King­dom’s water sec­tor, to decar­bon­ize desal­in­a­tion at an unpre­ced­en­ted scale. With Saudi Ara­bia account­ing for 22 per­cent of global desal­in­a­tion capa­city, the part­ner­ship tar­gets mega­ton-level car­bon diox­ide removal within the next dec­ade while improv­ing fresh­wa­ter recov­ery and over­all plant effi­ciency.

With Ebb’s system, SWA gains increased water output, locally produced chemicals, and cleaner discharged brine. Ebb gains access to infrastructure capable of removing up to 85 megatonnes of CO₂ annually across SWA’s existing assets.

And with 150+ million cubic meters of seawater processed daily across the global desalination industry, this represents one of the world’s largest opportunities for carbon removal.
