The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism puts a carbon price on imports of cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity. EU importers must be authorised CBAM declarants and declare the emissions embedded in the goods they bring in each year.
Where reliable data from the producer is missing, default values apply. They are designed to be conservative, which usually means a higher bill. For many importers, the gap between actual and default emissions is where the money is.
The difficulty is that the data sits with installations outside the EU, often with limited experience of EU reporting rules. That is the gap we close.
What we deliver
- Mapping of the importer's CBAM goods and the installations behind them
- Emissions data collection from suppliers, following the EU methodology
- On-site checks where the data needs to be understood, not just received
- Consistent, documented data packages ready for the annual declaration and verification
- A repeatable process for the following years, as the carbon price rises
