Taking bicarbonate to carbonate releases about 0.8 moles of CO2. This has the opposite effect of what you are intending. See the below link for a discussion of the mechanism for how taking carbonate (i.e. limestone) to bicarbonate sequesters carbon. Please don't just run this reaction in reverse. That's almost as bad as our current process for making cement. If you're doing something different (e.g. adding a counterion to replace calcium), then where does this come from?
