Government Policy Makers
Around the world political leaders struggle to find solutions to one of the most vexing challenges confronting mankind: how to improve quality of life for the people of the world without causing irrevocable environmental damage to the planet that sustains us. Historically, creating the energy and materials that enhance peoples’ lives has resulted in increased air emissions, water discharges and solid wastes. Moreover, emissions of otherwise benign gases such as carbon dioxide can exacerbate the planet’s natural greenhouse effect, changing the global climate in ways that dramatically affect the health of humans and the ecosystem.
An increasing number of government policy makers have committed to tackling the threat of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But the answers are not easy. Traditionally, economic development has been linked to energy production and thus to increased greenhouse gas emissions. The challenge for mankind is to find innovative technologies that upend that conventional calculus.
Calera’s technology is such an innovation. Expanding energy production and materials manufacturing without increasing greenhouse gas emissions will require permanent, scalable, affordable, and environmentally beneficial means of reducing emissions from power plants and factories. Calera’s carbon conversion process provides just that kind of solution.
