Seawater carbon storage removes carbon from the ocean and turns it into useful construction materials like concrete and plaster. This new pr

From the article:

Scientists have developed a new method that could transform how we build everything from roads to homes. By applying electricity to seawater, researchers have found a way to pull carbon dioxide (CO₂) from it and turn it into a solid. That solid can then be used to make eco-friendly concrete, plaster, paint, and other building materials. Even better, this material doesn’t just reduce carbon emissions; it actively removes CO₂ from the environment. It’s known as seawater carbon storage, and it might be the construction industry’s best hope for a cleaner future.

The article goes on to mention that cement creation generates about 8% of global CO2 emissions, which is more than the entire aviation industry. It's also particularly difficult to decarbonize because the chemical process to make concrete inherently releases carbon dioxide. Finding carbon neutral, or even carbon negative, sources of cement is a very big deal when it comes to reducing emissions.
