What if Cement Production Could Store Carbon Instead of Emitting It?

Nature has many ways of storing carbon dioxide. One is by turning it into solid form that can lock CO2 away for centuries, but this option takes a lot of time. Scientists have found ways to replicate and expedite this process, and one company is taking it a step further by making concrete that could transform the construction industry from one of the world’s largest climate emitters to a carbon sink.
