What CBAM figure should an EU buyer expect for flat steel from Eregli?
A blast furnace route figure, with coke, sinter and pig iron emissions carried into every tonne of coil, usually close to 2 tonnes of CO2 per tonne. Ask the mill for its monitored figure. A Turkish carbon price can be deducted only once it is actually paid.
What the figure covers
- Precursors made on site: sinter, pig iron and crude steel.
- Direct emissions at the rolling and coating lines.
- Not electricity, which is outside the charged figure for steel.
Coated and cold-rolled coil
Cold-rolled and galvanised coil add their own furnace gas and carry the hot-rolled coil as a precursor. Ask for a figure per product, not one number for the whole site.
Carbon price deduction
Turkey has legislated an emissions trading system starting with a pilot phase. A deduction from the CBAM charge needs a price effectively paid, net of free allocation, with evidence.
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.
