I looked at the article too.
From the introduction:
“... method to reduce cement’s carbon footprint (which accounts for up to 8% of total global greenhouse gas emissions) ...”
What do greenhouse emissions have to do with the subject of the report? Nothing.

The researchers behind the report used “a multiscale correlative elemental and chemical mapping approach”. Wowee!
