MgO vs Other Cements

(ie Portland, Gypsum, Limestone,) Studies have proven that MGO improves air quality by absorbing CO2 emission.. in essence decreasing global warming.

MgO

....the actual cement composition which accelerates the absorption of CO2 from the environment within the manufactured construction products....

DEVELOPMENT OF CARBON NEGATIVE CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS USING NOVEL MgO BASED BINDERS

The production of Magnesium Oxide on the other hand converts easily from Magnesium Carbonate at around 650°C, thus halving the energy consumption. Whilst the ‘roasting’ process of manufacturing ‘eco-cements’ produces more CO2, during setting and hardening a process called carbonation reabsorbs the majority of this from the air. In construction terms, a tonne of eco-concrete can end up absorbing up to 0.4 tonnes of CO2 Read More
