This checklist helps non-EU suppliers and exporters understand which data points are relevant for calculating CBAM emissions for Alloys, including Ferro-manganese (FeMn), Ferro-chromium (FeCr), and Ferro-nickel (FeNi). The process is adapted to the specifics of each alloy type to support accurate reporting.
🔍 Step 1: Identify Your Product and CN Code
What to do: Determine if your product falls within the “Alloys (FeMn, FeCr, FeNi)” category.
Why it matters: The CN code defines what data is required for CBAM compliance.
How to proceed:
Refer to the EU’s CBAM guidance to find the correct CN code (e.g., codes under 7202).
Ensure the product is correctly classified as Ferro-manganese, Ferro-chromium, or Ferro-nickel.
Record your CN code for use in reporting.
⚙️ Step 2: Select Your Production Method
What to do: Identify the specific production process used.
Why it matters: Emissions and material inputs vary by production method.
How to proceed:
Choose one of the following production methods:
Ferro-manganese
Ferro-chromium
Ferro-nickel
Collect data specific to that method for CBAM assessment.
Note: data collection flow will depend on the production method selected
🔌 3. Collect Data
What to do: Record all data points used in your production, ranging from materials/precursors to electricity used in production. Make sure to collect the data for a whole year and for the total amount of Alloys produced.
Why it matters: Input materials like sintered ore contribute directly to your emissions total.
How to proceed:
Identify and document all precursor materials, such as ores, reductants, and sintered ore.
Contact suppliers for emissions data or refer to default values using CN codes.
Log total energy used (e.g., electricity) and other production metrics tied to your selected production method over each reporting period.
📊 4. Get Emissions Calculations and Reporting
What to do: Track the total output Ferro-manganese, Ferro-chromium, or Ferro-nickel produced during the reporting period.
Why it matters: This data is used to calculate emissions per tonne of product.
How to proceed:
Go to the Product Emissions section in the reporting module.
Review your calculated emissions based on the data you submitted.
Use the results for CBAM reporting obligations and to support internal ESG goals.
📝 Checklist Summary for Action
1. Identify Product and CN Code - Understand what data must be collected
2. Select Production Method - Use the correct data structure for each alloy
3. Collect Data – Record energy, material inputs, and emissions sources specific to your process.
4. Emission reporting- Track output and generate CBAM-compliant reports with emissions per tonne produced emission values.
