We must drastically reduce our CO2 emissions to limit the Earth’s temperature rise. One of the most important questions though is how can we achieve quick results?
In addition to the largest sources of CO2 emissions, such as cars, aviation, container ships, and coal-fired power stations, there are also less obvious contributors, like the way we build. Until today, we have depended heavily on the use of concrete for constructing both commercial and non-commercial buildings and structures, making concrete the most widely used building material in the world.
To produce concrete, we need cement, which in turn requires a huge amount of calcium carbonate. During the furnace process, calcium carbonate degrades into approximately 56% calcium oxide and 44% CO2. Consequently, it is safe to estimate that the cement and concrete industry is responsible for about 5% of global CO2 emissions.
Is Magnesium MGO Composite Environmentally Friendly?
Magnesium oxide board offers numerous environmental benefits. Its curing process captures carbon dioxide, contributing to a reduction in overall emissions. Unlike other competitive materials, magnesium oxide board contains no asbestos, formaldehyde, ammonia, silica, or benzene. Its chloride content is generally below 8 percent, ensuring it is safe for various applications.
The mining of magnesite, the raw material for magnesium oxide board, is conducted on the surface and requires no chemicals or elaborate processes—just the breaking of magnesite chunks from the mountain. The modest amount of dust generated during this process is actually beneficial to the land, people, and animals it comes into contact with, making magnesium oxide board a truly environmentally friendly building material.
