Anthracite coal is environmentally friendly. All mining is done on previously mined land that is completely reclaimed and restored. We replenish forest land on old mine sites. Mining re-establishes erosion and sedimentation controls that allow rain water to flow to streams naturally. Learn more about Blaschak's support for the environment

But the water must come from somewhere—typically a nearby river or lake. "Once-through" coal plants pump the water directly from a water source, heat it up, then discharge it back.The waste water is typically hotter (by up to 20-25 F) than the

Today, around 0.8 tonne of coal is used and 2.1 tonnes of CO 2 emitted from the raw materials to produce every tonne of steel (separate from any coal or gas used to generate the electricity also required). The International Energy Agency estimates that the global iron and steel industry accounts for 6.7% of world CO 2 emissions.

Carbon Impacts of Steel . Steel is manufactured in two types of factories. Large steel mills typically use basic oxygen furnaces (BOFs), which burns coal or natural gas to melt iron-ore to extract the iron, and then mixes the iron with scraps of iron and steel to make new steel. Most of the inputs to a BOF are mined, raw materials, so the recycled content level for BOFs is typically between 25
