The calcination of magnesite and dolomite is a state of the art technology step in minerals processing. The concomitantly produced carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is released into the flue gas, with all its negative effects on the global carbon balance. Reductive calcination of magnesite and dolomite to carbon monoxide (CO) and methane would open a window to reuse CO 2 and produce value‐added carbonaceous products. The conversion of more than 70 % of the CO 2 emitted during reductive calcination of the magnesite content of a mixed magnesite/dolomite (1:1 mol/mol) to CO at moderate temperature is feasible without admixture of catalyst.
