Rocks can address the energy challenges facing the humanity

Saving Energy

Industries consume a great deal of energy, which takes up around one quarter of the whole world’s energy consumption and 40% of CO2 emission. Meanwhile, energy consumption is an influential factor to industrial costs.

CCEWOOL rock wool has an outstanding performance in the energy saving of industrial furnaces. It is estimated that the use of every m3 of rock wool as insulation materials in industrial thermal facilities can save up to 2500 kcal/hour of energy, equivalent to three tons of standard coal ever year. Also, at least one ton of petroleum can be saved by using one ton of rock wool insulation in buildings.

Buildings are the largest source of global greenhouse gas emission. The construction industry accounts for 30% of the world greenhouse gas emission and consumes 40% of global energy. To save energy in this industry, the insulation performance, heating, and air conditioning efficiency need to be improved; the operation management of buildings’ energy systems need to be strengthened; recyclable resources need to be utilized; under the premise of ensuring the indoor thermal environment, the thermal resistance of indoor and outdoor energy exchange need to be increased so as to reduce energy consumption in heating, air-conditioning, lighting, and water supply systems.

Many families have wasted much energy due to the lack of insulation. In winter, their houses cannot bring residents comfort, and they cost a lot on heating. House residents can save 70% heating or air conditioning energy by adopting high-efficiency energy saving technologies and insulating the house appropriately. In this way, their living cost can be lowered, and their living experience can be improved.

Rocks can solve the sustainability problems in insulation

Sustainability

Sustainability is the prevalent idea in the modern world, which is the ability to meet the needs of people nowadays without compromising the needs of future generations. As the largest resource consumer, the construction industry consumes three billion raw materials, and its waste accounts for one third of world wastes, and most of it becomes landfills. Based on these data, the construction industry is environmentally unsustainable.

In the current mode of over-consumption of resources and heavy pollution caused by the construction industry, the emergence of CCEWOOL rock wool can fully meet the challenges of the pressing substantiality issues. CCEWOOL rock wool is 100% recyclable; therefore, it can lead the construction industry towards a green, environmental, and sustainable ecological mode.

Fire Safety

Among all the disasters, fires are one of the most frequent and widespread threats to public safety and social development. About ten thousand fires occur every day around the world, and approximately sixty thousand people lose their lives in fires every year. How to reduce the threat of fires has become one of the major problems in urban development. Therefore, fire safety in buildings is imperative.

CCEWOOL rock wool insulation material is a grade A non-combustible material, which has excellent fire resistance and can withstand temperatures over 1000 degree Celsius. It can effectively prevent the spread of fires and avoid a small fire in one area to spread to the whole building. More than 50% of victims in fires die of the inhaling of smoke and toxic gas; however, CCEWOOL rock wool does not release any toxic gases in fires because it is an inorganic material.
