Europe is spending millions to trap carbon. Where will it go? (www.politico.eu)

quite a lot of captured CO2 can go into concrete. Maybe a cement (powder) producer is not able to tap into that method directly, but policy shifts will open it up. There are already several US states with low-embodied-carbon concrete laws creating markets for this purpose.

We don't need to trap carbon, we need yo stop burning it, like yesterday.

Just like with nuclear power the waste storage problem is always soon to be solved. Slow down and degrowth is the way considering we are creating disaster with our current ways.
