Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders Seminar (MS&E 472)
Brent Constantz
January 26, 2011
4:30 pm to 5:30 pm
Brent Constantz, a Stanford University Professor, is the Founder of Calera.
Brent is a specialist in earth sciences. Constantz has previous started three medical companies involving synthetic materials and medical devices, including cements that helped repair bones. That’s when he learned that a ton of carbon dioxide is created for every ton of cement produced –one of the reasons he says he started Calera. The company is building a test manufacturing facility.
Brent says Calera can stop global warming and ocean acidification by pulling greenhouse gas out of the atmosphere.
