Sequestering Carbon Dioxide in the Built Environment JUCCCE China Energy Forum Brian Curtis Corporate Development Calera Corporation November 10th, 2008
Calera’s Solution Capture CO2 and convert it into green building materials
Calera Process Clean Air (reduced or zero CO2) Demineralized Water (stripped of Ca & Mg) Flue gas Calera Power Cooling seawater (or alternative direct source) Cooling seawater Green Cement
Calera Process as Biomimicry Calera’s process is similar to coral reef formation Seawater absorbs CO2 Coral process = + minerals CO2 Coral
Carbon Capturing Materials “Being less bad is not good enough” + Normal Concrete With 50% Fly Ash Carbon Footprint Carbon Capturing Concrete -
Calera’s Pilot Facility CO2 Source: Largest Power Provider in California Moss Landing, CA >1000 MW base load >1500 MW peaking Natural Gas >3.4 million tons CO2 per year Source: EPA (2007)
