Manufacturing special steel has significant environmental impacts due to its energy-intensive production process and the extraction of raw materials. The production of special steel requires high temperatures and uses large amounts of fossil fuel-based energy, resulting in substantial greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change. Additionally, the extraction of iron ore and other raw materials for steel production can lead to deforestation, habitat destruction, and water pollution. The disposal of steel waste and byproducts also poses challenges, as it can contaminate soil and water sources. Therefore, the environmental impacts of manufacturing special steel must be carefully managed and mitigated through sustainable practices and technologies.
