By now more and more organic products. However, surprisingly, there is now a new type of cement that is much friendlier to the environment. Given that cement production, estimated at 2,500 million tons per year, causes 5 percent of CO2 emissions worldwide this innovation is very important and precedent. Developed by the company Novacem , is a new type of cement made from magnesium oxide and other minerals replacing calcium carbonate and that's how does emit less CO2 than cement during traditional process. Moreover, this new cement absorbs more CO2 over its life cycle that was emitted during manufacture.
Just refer to the numbers to account for the improvement: each ton of production emits 0.4 tonnes of CO2 while throughout his life absorbs 1 ton of CO2. It should also be borne in mind that every ton of cement produces 0.8 tons of traditional CO2.
While the company has innovated with the product, other firms are also developing new modes of production of cement that are less harmful to the environment.
