1. A manufacturing process of a low-carbon concrete product, comprising:
forming a cementitious slurry including portlandite;
shaping the cementitious slurry into a structural component, wherein shaping the cementitious slurry comprises compacting the cementitious slurry at a pressure in a range of about 0.5 MPa to about 50 MPa; and
exposing the structural component to a post-combustion or post-calcination flue gas stream containing CO2, thereby enabling manufacture of the low-carbon concrete product.
