Every building and road binds chemistry that releases carbon. China pours much of the world's concrete. This grid divides fossil industrial CO₂ (2026 snapshot) into colored bands — Cement production, Asia & Pacific, and 2 more groups — using equal squares so you compare shares, not country size on a map.

1 cell = 0.1 percent of global CO₂ from cement (0.1% of fossil industrial CO₂) · 1,000 cells
