# What CBAM figure does an EU buyer need for ferronickel from North Macedonia?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/north-macedonia-ferronickel-cbam-figure

Ferronickel is a CBAM good under CN 7202 60. Its figure covers drying and calcining the laterite ore, electric furnace smelting with coal or coke as reductant, and refining. Ask for a verified figure for the period when the plant was running.

## What goes in

- Fuel for drying and rotary kilns.
- Reductant coal or coke.
- Electrode consumption.
- Electricity is reported, since ferro alloys count as steel goods.

## Intermittent output

Plants that stop and restart burn more per tonne. Match the figure to the period of your shipment.

## For stainless makers

Ferronickel is a precursor for stainless steel. Keep the supplier figure by lot.

## 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.
