    According to Mondo, the construction of a track using biogenic calcium carbonate offsets the emissions of a Euro 4 diesel vehicle driving 60,000 kilometers.

    Weird comparison to choose a car pollution limit created 2 decades ago. Let’s take a calculator. Assuming 150g per km that’s 9 tons. Let me find some numbers… using this technique it can almost offset the CO2 emitted by Elon musk’s private jet in this 2 hours flight https://mastodon.social/@elonjet/112860238332093251 awesome! 👍
