Emission Control for all products within the CBAM scope. This includes:
• Identifying non-EU suppliers and production facilities.
• Understanding the production processes involved( especially energy-intensive steps).
• Collecting supplier contact information and establishing communication channels.
This mapping exercise is the foundation for gathering reliable primary data from your suppliers, which is preferred over using default values.
Step 3: Collect primary emissions data Primary data is key for CBAM compliance. You should aim to collect actual emissions data from suppliers, including:
• Direct emissions from production( e. g. combustion of fossil fuels on-site).
• Indirect emissions from electricity consumption( based on the regional or national grid mix).
Data collection from your suppliers is one of the biggest challenges and probably the most timeconsuming task for CBAM declaration. Creating a strong communication channel with your suppliers is essential to reduce uncertainties and avoid last minute hassles. When requesting data, ensure suppliers are aware of the EU-approved calculation methods, such as those in the EU’ s CBAM Implementing Regulation or ISO standards.
By a joint effort with businesses and their international suppliers it is possible to make an important positive impact into climate change mitigation.
Encourage them to maintain documentation and logs to support future audits.
Step 4: Apply the correct methodology CBAM requires that emissions be calculated using specific methodologies. These should:
• Align with EU guidance( e. g. EU ETS Monitoring and Reporting Regulation).
• Include all relevant emission sources and account for carbon content in raw materials where applicable.
• Distinguish between direct and indirect emissions clearly.
Use the official CBAM communication templates and tools where possible. These are designed to help importers ensure consistency and comparability across submissions.
