British engineers have created a new kind of cement which not only requires much less heating, it also absorbs large amounts of CO2 as it hardens, making it carbon negative.

Very interesting, because cement is more unsustainable than many know. Just think it is all over in "western" societies and beyond. 5 % of co2 emmissions come from cement plants , GLOBALLY.-more than the entire aviation industry. Thx David.
Its great to see some solutions to this unsustainability and the UNity worldwide to fix it. WE NEED cooperation , not competition to get thru this.

It does not really say , what it is made of, I hope it is not toxic to us or the environment. Lets not make any more unintentional sustainability mistakes , that take away from us what we seek to give. No more Greenwashing for a buck.
