Concrete reabsorbs some of its carbon emissions over time. Alternative ingredients and 3D printing could help supercharge that by making the finished concrete more porous.
For context, concrete production is responsible for ~8% of global emissions
In general, the big issues with modified recipes for it and alternate designs for structures have been that architects and contractors don’t like taking risk with new things. This has made adoption of improvements painfully slow.

Hemp concrete is pretty promising, it stores more co2 than it produces. If only it could be used for structural support
