Read the page of the company doing it, that's not exactly what they're doing (which you correctly point out it would be pointless) - http://www.blueplanet-ltd.com/

I read it again, twice. That is exactly what they’re doing.

Their starting material is CO2-source cement, not some natural “rock”.

Counterexamples are substantially more helpful than downvotes.

It seems they're not replacing the quicklime, but the gravel. The left column is confusing, the right column is better.

> A rock particle is coated with our synthetic limestone, forming a carbon-sequestering coating that is 44% by mass CO2.

That's where the CO2 goes, not in curing the CaO

But where does the Ca come from? Obviously not from limestone...
