Heavy industry is one of the main contributions to global warming – steel, aluminium, cement, glass and mining together account for over 30% of all human greenhouse gas emissions. To reach our net zero targets for the Paris Agreement, emissions from these sectors need to be slashed by 75% over the next decade. At the same time, these industries rely on energy-intensive processes that are very inefficient (eg., steel furnaces have an overall efficiency of only 50%) and expensive. Optimizing away those inefficiencies is one of our main weapons for cleaning up these dirty industries, but it is hard – the physical processes are complex, and data are scarce and messy. At Calda, our mission is to leverage new advancements from the research frontier by combining physical modelling, advanced Bayesian methods, and AI: we create breakthrough capabilities in process optimization for heavy industry.
