Is zinc from Chittorgarh covered by CBAM?
No. Zinc, lead and silver are not CBAM goods. But galvanised steel is, and zinc is not a listed precursor for it, so the coating does not add to the steel's CBAM figure. EU buyers may still ask for zinc's footprint for their Scope 3.
What is covered
- Iron and steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity.
Galvanised steel
Coated sheet and galvanised structures are steel goods. Their figure covers steel making and the processing plant, including the galvanising line's fuel, not zinc mining or smelting.
Zinc footprint
Smelting is power hungry. Keep kWh, captive power fuel and tonnes of zinc per month, so buyers get a sourced number.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads fuel, electricity and freight invoices into a dated, fingerprinted record per site, so each figure you send a buyer traces back to the documents behind it.
