Your Challenge In Relation to CBAM?

Your challenge is to provide accurate, traceable and prompt communication of your steel products' embedded emissions. Our challenge is to provide you the system to acheive this without an on-going cost burden.


What is CBAM and Why Does it Matter to You?

The CBAM regulation is designed to prevent 'carbon leakage' — where UK/EU companies may purchase steel products from countries with less stringent climate policies. The EU (and the UK from Jan 2027) place an equivalent carbon price on the product at time of import.

Date CBAM Phase Impact on UK Steel Exporters
Oct 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2025 Transitional Phase
  • **Mandatory Quarterly Reporting** by your EU customers.
  • They rely on **you** for accurate, embedded emissions data using the EU methodology.
  • No financial levy yet.
Jan 1, 2026 Definitive Phase (Phased-in)
  • **Financial Obligation starts.**
  • Your EU customers must purchase **CBAM certificates** based on your product's embedded emissions.
  • The price is linked to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) price.

Your customers face potential penalties if their CBAM reports are incomplete or inaccurate, making your ability to provide validated data a major factor in your customer's CBAM reports.

We adapt your internal (computer) system to automatically identify and store the required primary data points, without disruption to your existing operations.

We provide the expertise to adapt your operations to first, gather the data, and second, to populate the official CBAM communication template for your customers.

We develop the tools to transform this internal data into the format required by your UK or EU customers, generating the data necessary for the official CBAM communication template for installations (steel processors). This ensures your customers receive the precise, compliant information they need for their quarterly reports.

We help to establish internal processes and documentation required for the business to tackle CBAM efficiently without disruption and without on-going external assistance.
