A European pump maker wants carbon data for castings from our Belagavi foundry. What do we give?
A product footprint per kg of casting: your melting energy, coke or electricity, sand and binders, and the metal charge, divided by good castings. Iron castings are mostly outside CBAM, so this is a buyer request, not a legal filing, but the buyer will use it in its own declarations.
What to include
- Pig iron, scrap and ferro-alloys charged, with factors.
- Coke or electricity for melting.
- Sand, resin and core materials.
- Fettling, machining and heat treatment, if you do them.
CBAM check
Cast iron articles under heading 7325 are not in Annex I. Steel castings and some semi-finished forms can be. Check the CN code on your invoice.
Make it usable
Give the figure per kg and per part, state cradle to gate, and say which inputs are measured and which use averages.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads your fuel, electricity and purchase documents into dated, fingerprinted records, so the figure you send a buyer can be traced to its source.
