    Makes a lot of sense to capture carbon like this in products people actually pay you money for, as opposed to any solution that just burns money to capture carbon.

    Especially true for building materials that take up such a large share of carbon produced. That’s why stuff like cross laminated timber or hempcrete make a lot of sense to me.
