Replace Commission default values with verified, plant-level primary emissions data — closing the gap between modelled and actual liability and reclaiming the margin that default values silently consume.

Mandate 01Assess

Recover margin leakage caused by overstated default values and weak supplier data.

Replace Commission default values with verified, plant-level primary emissions data — closing the gap between modelled and actual liability and reclaiming the margin that default values silently consume.

In Scope

What we cover

  • Plant-level thermodynamic and energy-flow analysis for nominated production sites.
  • Supplier MRV onboarding: data templates, verifier coordination, and chain-of-custody documentation.
  • Reconciliation of primary data against EU Commission methodology for the relevant CN code.
  • ETS equivalency structuring where applicable — quantifying carbon prices already paid in the country of origin.
  • Documentation pack assembled for verifier review and registry submission.

Deliverables

What you receive

  • Measured reduction in CBAM certificate spend versus default-value baseline.
  • Audit-ready evidence file for each covered good and supplier.
  • A repeatable data-collection cadence aligned with quarterly reporting cycles.

−30%

Typical CBAM liability reduction once primary-data positions replace default values across a covered portfolio. The size of recovery scales with default-value exposure surfaced in the Diagnostic.Indicative · subject to sector + supplier readiness

Best For

Operators whose Exposure Identification report has flagged material liability driven by default values, and whose supplier base is willing to engage with primary data extraction.

Exit Criteria

Engagement closes with a verified primary-data submission package and the lifetime documentation required to defend the position on audit.

Engagement

Take control of your CBAM exposure.

Run a controlled diagnostic. No commercial commitment until scope is confirmed in writing. Engagement closes on a written exposure report — regardless of whether you proceed to a mandate.
