A carbon-sequestering geopolymer concrete composition and method of manufacture is disclosed. The composition comprises a geopolymeric binder phase of aluminosilicate materials and an alkaline activator, coarse and fine aggregates, dried marine algae powder, and optional supplementary cementitious materials. This enables significantly reduced carbon dioxide emissions during production compared to standard concrete mixes. Additionally, the integrated algae powder facilitates direct capture and mineralization of atmospheric carbon dioxide as the concrete cures. Aspects of embodiments of the invention include the concrete composition; a sidewalk embodiment comprising said concrete; associated sidewalk construction methods; and alternate sidewalk embodiment claims. Compared to conventional concretes, the technology disclosed herein provides over 70% lower CO2 emissions coupled with enhanced carbon mineralization that progresses over the material lifetime. This enables various infrastructure applications to reach carbon-absorbing or carbon-negative performance credentials. The composition also exhibits excellent mechanical strength, freeze-thaw resilience, and extended durability properties.
