Same data, two uses
The fuel, power and production records a steel plant keeps for CCTS also feed its CBAM emissions report for EU buyers, though the two systems draw boundaries differently.
What Senseible does here
Senseible keeps a plant's fuel and electricity invoices as dated, fingerprinted monthly records, the activity data its monitoring plan and verifier work from.
