How does a steel galvanising unit near Wardha work out its CBAM figure?

Galvanised coil or sheet is a CBAM steel good. Its figure is the embedded emissions of the coil you bought, plus your own direct emissions from furnace and annealing fuel. Zinc is not a precursor. Electricity is not charged for steel goods, but keep it on record.

Inputs

• Coil supplier's embedded emissions per tonne.
• Fuel for annealing and zinc pot heating.
• Tonnes of coil in and product out, for yield.

Yield matters

Scrap and trim losses mean more coil per tonne of product, which raises the figure.

Ask the coil supplier

Without their figure, your importer falls back on default values for the precursor.

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.
