What CBAM figure does an EU buyer need for hot rolled coil from Smederevo?
Smederevo is a blast furnace works, so its coil carries coke, sinter and furnace emissions. Ask for a verified figure per tonne of coil for the period. Serbia has no carbon price to deduct, so the full CBAM charge applies to that figure.
What goes in
- Coke and sinter, made on site or bought.
- Blast furnace and converter.
- Hot strip mill fuel.
- Bought slabs or pig iron as precursors.
Electricity
Reported, not charged, for steel. Serbia's grid is lignite heavy, which buyers doing Scope 3 will notice.
Tinplate and plate
Each product needs its own figure. Downstream steps add their own fuel and power.
What Senseible does here
Senseible keeps each site's fuel, power and production records together, so the embedded emissions you send an EU importer trace back to dated documents.
