Carbon Credits
Meridian Magnesium SF6 Avoidance
Magnesium plays an important role in the light-weighting of passenger vehicles as it offers a significantly better strength-to-weight ratio than traditional materials such as steel. Carbon credits are generated by reducing the use of SF6, the industry-standard cover gas used when magnesium is melted to be formed into automotive parts.
