# What will a steel mill abroad ask an Indian ferromanganese supplier for?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/steel-mill-abroad-indian-ferromanganese-data

The specific embedded emissions of your ferromanganese, in tonnes CO2 per tonne, for the latest calendar year, with how it was measured. A steel mill exporting to the EU counts your alloy as a precursor, so your figure replaces a default value in its own CBAM report.

## What to send

- Direct embedded emissions per tonne, from the reductant mass balance plus fuel used inside the installation.
- Electricity per tonne, reported but not charged for steel goods.
- Production route, reporting period and whether the figure is verified.

## Why they ask

Ferromanganese under CN 7202 11 and 7202 19 is a relevant precursor for steel. Without your data, the steel mill must use a default value with a mark up, which makes its steel more expensive for the EU buyer.

## Make it easy to use

One figure per product grade and period, in the units the CBAM template uses, beats a long report. Keep the workings ready for their verifier.

## What Senseible does here

Senseible reads your fuel and electricity bills into dated, fingerprinted installation records, the starting point for the actual emissions your EU importer asks for, and its CBAM cost calculator estimates certificate cost from 2026 to 2034 for covered goods. Senseible does not verify emissions or file CBAM declarations.
