Does chromite ore face CBAM, and what figure will buyers ask for?
Chromite ore itself is not a CBAM good. Ferro-chromium made from it is (CN 7202 4), so a ferrochrome smelter's EU importer needs emissions that include the ore. Miners can expect requests for diesel, electricity and tonnes mined per tonne of ore.
Covered or not
- Chromite ore: not covered.
- Ferro-chromium: covered.
- Charge chrome or ferrochrome made from your ore carries the smelter's emissions, not the mine's, under CBAM.
What to keep
Monthly diesel, explosives, electricity and tonnes of ore dispatched. These feed the smelter's supply chain figures.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads fuel, electricity and production documents into dated, fingerprinted installation records, the starting point for the actual emissions an EU importer asks for.
