Roman concrete would cure by reacting with the carbon dioxide in the air, fixing it into the concrete. It doesn't sound like that's how this concrete works, but I wonder if a methodology like that would be carbon negative.
Isn’t the formula for Roman concrete unknown? I’m wondering how they can tell it is carbon negative
Yes, though a lot of research has been done to figure out its most important properties. A secret of its durability was just figured out last year. https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106
Interesting, thanks for sharing
