What CBAM figure does an ammonia exporter in Trinidad need for EU buyers?
Ammonia (CN 2814) is a CBAM good. Its figure counts direct emissions from gas used as feed and fuel, plus indirect emissions from electricity. CO2 sent to a urea or methanol plant is usually treated as emitted unless the rules allow otherwise. Methanol itself is not a CBAM good.
What counts
- Feed and fuel gas, metered and analysed.
- Electricity, since indirect emissions count for fertilisers.
- Any purchased hydrogen as a precursor.
Carbon price
CBAM allows a deduction only for a carbon price effectively paid in the country of origin. Check whether any applies before claiming one.
Buyers
EU importers will ask for a verified actual figure per installation.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads fuel, power and production records into dated, fingerprinted installation records, the starting point for the actual emissions your EU importer asks for.
