Demystifying the EU’s CBAM Template

Confidently report your emissions to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and meet your EU customer needs with ease in half the time and a fraction of the cost

What's is Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism?

The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) puts a fair price on the carbon emitted during the production of carbon-intensive goods entering the EU, and encourages cleaner industrial production in non-EU countries.

CBAM is set to expand downstream, from raw materials into finished goods containing steel or aluminium. The EU Commission, Council, and Parliament are negotiating a scope covering anywhere from 180 to 457 manufactured products: machinery, vehicle components, appliances, and industrial equipment, which would apply from 2028.

North American manufacturers and exporters shipping these goods into the EU may need product-level embedded-emissions data for the first time.

Without verified data, your EU customers are billed at default values, which are set high on purpose. See what CBAM default values could cost per tonne →
