Many industrialized nations are trying to reduce atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, a gas released by the burning of fossil fuels  One proposal is to replace conventional cement, which is made with calcium carbonate, by a new eco-cement   This new cement, made with magnesium carbonate, absorbs large amount of carbon dioxide when exposed to the atmosphere
Ttherefore, using eco-cement for new concrete building projects will significantly help reduce atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide
The manufacture of eco-cement uses considerably less fossil fuel per unit of cement than the manufacture of conventional cement does.
