Prepare your Excel File for Data Uploads

To simplify the data upload process, we have created an Excel template for you to complete and upload your data directly to the platform.

You can download this template directly from hereο»Ώ.

If you encounter any issues downloading the template, contact us at [email protected] and we'll send it to you.

You need to provide the following information:

  • Installation ID: This can be an existing Installation ID you already use internally for the installation. If you don’t have an existing ID, you can assign a new one (see the example below)
  • Installation Name
  • Country: You can enter either the 2-letter ISO country code or the full name of the country

When uploading your data, an error will occur if you use an invalid country name. For example, using "Great Britain" instead of "United Kingdom" will trigger the error: "Error at field Country - Invalid Country".

Manage Emissions Data

Note: This information must be provided by your supplier. Your supplier might be the operator of the installation producing the CBAM goods or an intermediary trading company. For simplicity, we use the terms supplier and operator interchangeably in this context.

However, where your supplier and operator are not the same entity, your supplier is responsible for collecting the data from the operator and sharing it with you. The operator is responsible for measuring the emissions of the CBAM goods.

Manual Input

Enter Emissions Data

Enter the Initial Date and Final Date of the reporting period used by your supplier

The reporting period for operators is, by default, twelve months, specifically the (European) calendar year. Go to the Operators section to learn more about their reporting period.

Select the CN Code

Select the CN Code produced at the installation for which actual emissions data has been provided.

5

Select the type of applicable reporting methodology for the direct emissions

The available options are:

  • Commission rules (Always permitted)
  • Other Methods (Permitted until the Q4 2024 CBAM Report)
  • Default Values made available and published by the Commission (Permitted until the Q2 2024 CBAM Report)

If you select Commission rules, enter the direct Specific Embedded Emissions (SEE) shared by your supplier

Select the type of determination for the indirect emissions

The available options are:

  • Default Values made available and published by the Commission (Permitted until the Q2 2024 CBAM Report);
  • Actual Data (Always permitted);

8

If you select Actual Data, select the source of emission factor

The two different options are:

  • Commission based on IEA data: This option automatically calculates the indirect specific embedded emissions (SEE) by multiplying an IEA emission factor stored in the CBAM Registry with the electricity consumed. The fields for emission factor and indirect SEE will be disabled in this case. You only need to enter the electricity consumed value shared by your supplier.
  • Other: If your supplier used an alternative emission factor, select this option and specify the emission factor, along with the electricity consumed and the indirect SEE.

If you select Other, specify the alternative source of information used by your supplier for their electricity emission factor

Specify the electricity source

This refers to the source from which the electricity was consumed during the production of the CBAM goods. The options are:

  • Direct technical link to electricity generator
  • (Bilateral) power purchase agreement
  • Received from the grid

11

Enter the electricity emission factor (in tCO2/MWh)

Document image
ο»Ώ
12

Enter the electricity consumed (in MWh/tonne of product)

Document image
ο»Ώ
13

The indirect specific embedded emissions (SEE) are automatically calculated

To avoid unintended errors in your input data, the indirect SEE field is disabled and gets automatically calculated once you've entered the emission factor and electricity consumed. This value is the result of:

electricity emission factor (tCO2/MWh) x electricity consumed (MWh/tonne of product) = indirect SEE (tCO2/MWh)

Apply updates to shipments from the previous two quarters as well (Optional)

Please read the text below carefully, as this action cannot be undone. If you tick this box by mistake, contact us at [email protected]

When you update the actual emissions data for a specific CN code, all imports associated with the supplier and installation where that product was produced are automatically updated. However, these updates are limited to imports made within the most recent quarter.

For example, if you are preparing a CBAM report for Q4 2024 and have already uploaded your imports' data, any changes made to the actual emission values will only impact imports recorded for the latest quarter (Q4 2024 in this case).

For imports recorded in previous quarters, the emissions data will not automatically update. This is to preserve the historical data and ensure you can track which emissions figures were used for those past imports.

For example, if you are preparing a CBAM report for Q1 2025 and make changes to the actual emissions data of certain CN codes, only imports made during Q1 2025 will be affected by the updated emission values.

If you want to update the emissions data for previous quarters as well, you can do so by selecting the provided checkbox.

Please note that you can always review the emission values used in previous CBAM reporting periods by consulting the CBAM Reports submitted for those periods. These reports will serve as a "snapshot" of the emissions data applied during each specific reporting period.

Select the Production Method

The production method refers to the industrial process (technology) used by your supplier to produce the CBAM good for which actual emissions data is being entered.

Each aggregated goods category has a list of production routes that are covered by the EU CBAM. For some categories, only one option is available, indicating that all production routes are included.

(Optional) Add any additional parameters

This section is optional. If your supplier shared with you additional information about the quality of the CBAM goods you imported, such as the clinker-to-cement ratio for cement, the amount of scrap used for steel products, etc., you should input that information here.

Input the amount of carbon price paid for the emissions of the selected CBAM good

The EU CBAM Regulation defines "carbon price" as the monetary amount paid in a third country, under a carbon emissions reduction scheme, in the form of a tax, levy or fee or in the form of emission allowances under a greenhouse gas emissions trading system, calculated on greenhouse gases covered by such a measure, and released during the production of goods.

The currency will be automatically determined based on the country where the installation is located. The applicable exchange rate will be displayed automatically, along with the converted amount in EURO, using rates published by the EU Commission.

Enter the quantity of emissions from the selected CBAM good covered by the carbon pricing instrument (now called embedded emissions covered by the carbon price)

This refers to the total emissions, measured in tCO2e, for which the operator was required to pay the carbon price.

11

Enter the quantity of emissions covered by free allocation, rebate, or compensation (now called embedded emissions covered by rebate or any other form of compensation)

This refers to the total emissions, measured in tCO2e, for which the operator received rebates, free allowances, or free certificates and, therefore, did not pay the carbon price.
