It sounds to me as if they're mimicking how sea shells are made by sea critters.
This is ingenious. I can't believe it's that easy--I'm gonna have to look into seashell formation--but (w/ a Minor in Biochem) I can already see how.... One of those
moments....

"...in conjunction with salt water to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and remarkably inventors say it works better and more reliably than trees and soil."
Yes, that's the one problem with biosequestration--you have to keep it watered.
This stuff is at the bottom of a thermodynamic hill--no watering needed!
But adding water (making cement) would release the CO2, wouldn't it?
...so it'd be carbon-neutral cement--I guess?
...I should probably learn more about cement too, huh?
"It needs to be built near the sea, on a flat surface, and in a climate that encourages evaporation."
...using solar power to drive a concentration dependent reaction....
This is a very neat idea. Thanks! I hope I can add more later.
Thanks for the link!
