Map CBAM and export-market carbon exposure before it hits margin
Practical exposure mapping for cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizer, and other CBAM-affected exporters — covering product scope, embedded-emissions data needs, default-versus-actual gaps, and buyer-ready outputs.
The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and buyer carbon requests are turning embedded emissions into a trade variable. We help exporters identify exactly which products and processes are exposed, what data is missing to move from default to actual values, and what buyers and customs authorities will expect to see.
Built for these situations
What you receive
Product exposure flags
A clear map of which products, CN codes, and processes fall inside CBAM scope or buyer carbon-data requirements.
Default vs actual data gaps
An assessment of what is needed to move from conservative default values to defensible actual embedded-emissions data.
Buyer-ready outputs
Structured, exportable data packages formatted for customs declarations, buyer questionnaires, and audit requests.
A practical, sequenced process
Scope the exposure
Identify affected goods, export markets, and the specific buyer or regulatory triggers driving the request.
Data gap review
Compare current process and energy data against what actual embedded-emissions calculation requires.
Build the calculation
Develop product-level embedded-emissions figures with documented assumptions and factor traceability.
Package for use
Deliver outputs formatted for CBAM declarations, buyer portals, or internal decision-making.
Common questions
Do you handle the official CBAM declaration filing?
We prepare the underlying embedded-emissions data and documentation exporters and importers need. Filing is typically done by the importer of record; we ensure the data they receive is accurate, traceable, and audit-ready.
We currently use CBAM default values — is that a problem?
Default values are a valid starting point but are usually conservative and can cost more at the border than actual data would. We assess whether investing in actual-data collection is worth it for your specific product mix and export volume.
What if we export outside the EU and CBAM doesn't apply directly?
Many buyers outside formal CBAM scope are now requesting equivalent embedded-emissions data voluntarily. The same exposure-mapping and data approach applies.
