A promising new study reveals that cement production, currently one of the world's largest industrial sources of greenhouse gases, could become carbon negative. By transitioning kilns to run on clean energy, the natural carbon-absorbing properties of limestone can be harnessed to actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
