Zusammenfassung:Embodiments described herein relate to capturing and sequestering CO2 emissions from the cement production process with the potential to produce carbon-negative cement. Methods described herein can include contacting calcium oxide (CaO) with ambient air at a carbonation station to form a first stream of calcium carbonate, combining the first stream of calcium carbonate with a second stream of calcium carbonate in a calciner to form a combined stream of calcium carbonate, and applying heat to the calciner to decompose the combined stream of calcium carbonate into a stream of calcium oxide and a CO2 stream. The method further includes sequestering the CO2 stream, dividing the stream of calcium oxide into a first calcium oxide stream and a second calcium oxide stream, feeding the first stream of calcium oxide to the carbonation station, and feeding the second stream of calcium oxide to a kiln to produce a clinker.
