What is Carbon-negative Cement Manufacturing from Seawater-derived Magnesium Feedstocks about?
## Significance The cement industry is one of the largest sources of man-made carbon dioxide (CO~2~) emissions and is a hard-to-decarbonize sector that represents a major roadblock to achieving global greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. To address this challenge, the present study demonstrates the key steps in an environmentally friendly process for the manufacture of carbon-negative cement derived from highly abundant magnesium (Mg^2+^) ions in seawater. If the electricity used to power electrochemical reactors used to harvest Mg^2+^ is derived from carbon-free electricity sources and CO~2~ consumed by the process is sourced from the atmosphere or ocean, this carbon-negative process has the potential to transform the world’s most carbon-intensive industries into one of its biggest carbon sinks.
