# What CBAM figure does an EU buyer need for rebar and wire rod from Zenica?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/zenica-steel-rebar-cbam-figure

Zenica is an integrated blast furnace works, so its long products carry coke, sinter and furnace emissions, well above scrap based mills. Ask for a verified figure per tonne of product and period. Bosnia and Herzegovina has no carbon price to deduct.

## What goes in

- Coke ovens and sinter plant.
- Blast furnace and converter.
- Billet casting and rod or bar mill fuel.

## Electricity

Reported, not charged, for steel. Bosnia's grid is coal heavy.

## Without data

The importer uses EU default values, set high on purpose. A measured figure is worth getting.

## 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.
