Default Lime or cement mortar?

Lime sets by reacting with CO2 in the air, and is manufactured by
reversing this reaction using heat. The chemical cycle of lime is thus
CO2 neutral.

What's the "chemical cycle" of cement?

What about the production cycle? How much CO2 is released in processing
and transporting v. cement?
