New Gig: Carbon Capture into Green Cement
posted @ 11:56 am in [ Calera ]

After a crazy “first 100 days”, including a 4-continent business development tour, I am ready to disclose a little about the semi-stealth start-up I joined in August.

The company is Calera Corporation. We have technology that converts CO2 from large point sources such as coal-fired power plants into carbonate (CO3) cements for use in green building applications, thus pulling a double play against global warming. Calera is backed by Khosla Ventures. Click on the images below for a couple recent articles that tell the story:

Shanghai still under construction - Part II
posted @ 7:50 am in [ Shanghai ]

Check out the progress on the new IFC building as of mid-Nov. It’s the 4th tallest one here, in the middle with the crane on top (click on image to enlarge). I believe when they’re done it will be the tallest. Compare to my previous post in April when it was just a hole in the ground.
