Storing CO2 in the Built Environment Profitably
Co-hosted by Wharton Club New Jersey , Wharton Club of New York, and Wharton Club of Southern California

The CEO of Blue Planet will discuss the technology behind manufacturing “green” concrete profitably while saving humanity from climate change.

More recently, Dr. Constantz has re-directed his attention to address the concerns of global climate change. With aspirations to sequester gigaton quantities of carbon dioxide in the form of carbonate minerals that were to be used in the built environment, he founded Calera. Blue Planet is the second-generation technology to Calera, and it is inspired by the natural biomineralization of carbonate materials under mild conditions, similar to the way corals use carbon dioxide and calcium to grow carbonate minerals in the oceans. He received his doctorate in Earth Sciences at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1986 and went on to study biomineralization as a Fulbright Scholar at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
