Making concrete requires massive off-gassing of CO2 from limestone, plus a gigantic amount of energy (ie fossil fuels). If they can capture some CO2 in their product, great. However, I doubt this can do much to offset the concrete industry’s gigantic carbon footprint. Sorry if I’m being too negative, but I’ve never seen a carbon capture technology that can balance their chemical equations.

Nuclear power and renewables can power it too. But it's going to take a while for the technology to mature.
