Cement's dual role in the carbon cycle: emitter and long-term sink
This reasoning chain explains how the processes of cement production and carbonation interact dynamically at global scale, turning cement materials into both a major industrial CO2 source and an overlooked, substantial carbon sink, offsetting a large fraction of its process emissions over time.
