What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Too early to adopt

Why
Credible peer-reviewed result with strong CO2-uptake numbers and an industry partner, but it remains a single 2025 lab study with unquantified energy cost and explicit industrialization gaps.
Next
Track follow-up publications and any pilot/reactor scale-up announcement (note the Cemex collaboration); revisit when energy-per-ton-CO2 and a non-lab demonstration are published.
