DESCRIPTION:Heavy industry is one of the main contributions to global warm
 ing - steel\, aluminium\, cement\, glass and mining together account for o
 ver 30% of all human greenhouse gas emissions. To reach our net zero targe
 ts for the Paris Agreement\, emissions from these sectors need to be slash
 ed by 75% over the next decade. At the same time\, these industries rely o
 n energy-intensive processes that are very inefficient (eg.\, steel furnac
 es have an overall efficiency of only 50%) and expensive. Optimizing away 
 those inefficiencies is one of our main weapons for cleaning up these dirt
 y industries\, but it is hard - the physical processes are complex\, and d
 ata are scarce and messy. At Calda\, our mission is to leverage new advanc
 ements from the research frontier by combining physical modelling\, advanc
 ed Bayesian methods\, and AI: we create breakthrough capabilities in proce
 ss optimization for heavy industry.\n\n
