Calder, who was president and CEO of Western Coal from 1999 until the producer was taken over by Walter in April 2011, stepped down from the Walter seat last June.
Calder’s industry experience also includes tenures with Rio Tinto as managing director of copper projects and the Minera Group, where he served as the operations manager for the company’s Argentina and Bolivia operations.
“I see EmberClear in the unique position of advancing low-emissions global energy solutions utilizing coal and other hydrocarbons,” Calder said.
“The worldwide energy opportunities are more open to innovation than ever before and I look forward to contributing to such advances.”
EmberClear CEO Albert Lin said that Calder and his experiences blended well with its assets.
“His full integration into our decision-making process begins immediately and includes optimizing our coal assets while simultaneously prioritizing our actions regarding our growing project development pipeline,” he said.
