What drives the CBAM figure for TMT bars from a Jalna induction furnace mill?
Mostly the metal you charge. Induction furnace electricity is indirect and not counted for steel under CBAM, so the figure is driven by the embedded emissions of sponge iron or pig iron charged, plus reheating fuel and any direct emissions. Scrap carries zero, so the scrap share decides the number.
What goes in
- Sponge iron or pig iron: tonnes times their supplier's specific embedded emissions.
- Scrap: zero embedded emissions.
- Reheating furnace fuel, if billets are reheated.
- Ferro-alloys: only ferro-manganese, ferro-chromium and ferro-nickel carry a CBAM figure.
Records
Charge mix per heat, supplier figures for sponge iron, billet and bar output, and fuel for the reheating furnace.
Buyers' footprints differ
Product footprints include the furnace electricity, which at grid power is large for an induction route.
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.
