Major congrats to the Plonts team for launching their first product, an aged plant-based cheddar. We love the cheese – and are stoked that others are now able to try it and love it, too. Go give it a taste at select restaurants in NYC and the SF Bay Area! Read more about how Plonts is cutting the (plant-based) cheese: https://lnkd.in/gjtaBPHm

Major congratulations to the Brimstone team for this amazing achievement!
The Brimstone big plan: https://lnkd.in/gYMF84RM 1) invent a novel method of making cement that eliminates emissions, would, at full scale and under modern economic conditions, be cost parity or better, and maintains the same risk-adjusted cost by making the exact same ASTM C150 cement as everyone in the world makes, understands the risk associated with, and is trained to use (CHECK as of July, 2023 and as covered in the The Washington Post: https://lnkd.in/gy3jW888) 2) get financial catalytic help from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to finance our scaling (CHECK as of today: https://lnkd.in/gXk6nTmF) 3) scale (made a lot easier by DOE Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, IRA and BIL) Today, I am excited to announce that Brimstone has been awarded a $189,000,000.00 grant from the US Department of Energy moving us onto step 3. Brimstone has invented the third ever process in history to make Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and the only process to make it from a silicate rock. Our process is different from the other two methods of making OPC however, because there are no greenhouse or acid forming gasses in the rock. We think that is pretty neat. Let’s build!!! Huge thank you to DOE Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations and the team at Brimstone as well as our amazing investors, supporters, and collaborators! Too many to name :) If you want to join a serious, thesis driven team working to solve one of the hardest and most chronically underfunded problems in climate, join us! https://lnkd.in/gbnH4xjt
