About the company:

Brimstone is on a mission to transform heavy industry, starting with cement—an essential sector responsible for 7.5% of global CO2 emissions. Our team developed an efficient, economical, and deeply decarbonized process to produce portland cement, supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) and smelter grade alumina. The Brimstone process leverages the power of co-production and a carbon-free feedstock to deliver the same industry-standard products trusted by builders for generations.

Company Overview

Founded in 2019, Brimstone developed a breakthrough process to decarbonize cement production, one of the leading drivers of climate change. Our team is now scaling up to refine our process further and to build our first production facilities. We’re assembling an all-star group of sharp, mission-driven, collaborative individuals who take pride in using their diverse skills to contribute to a better world.

If this sounds like you, join us in helping to solve the most urgent, important challenge facing the world today (and have a blast while doing it!).
