Cement accounts for 8 to 9 percent of global CO2 emissions. I think it is really under researched, when it comes to looking for climate change solutions.

tl;dr - it's sequestration, not reduction. Liquify it and pump it underground.

- They don't capture all the emitted CO2, so it's a reduction.

  It's not reducing the amount of co2 generated from making the cement. It still generates the same amount, they just take some of it and pump it into the ground.
