add installations manually go to installations click new installation select the supplier you want to link to the installation enter the installation's information and click done upload installations data click upload click select file or drag your excel file into the upload area select the sheet with the installations' information and click next view the excel information and select the header row match the columns from your excel file to the platform fields and click next if a column doesn't match automatically, click on the dropdown and choose the correct field for that column validate your data and click confirm you can now manage the uploaded installations' data directly from the platform 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 files for data uploads docid\ gwqeqpxovh1v0edkl7hxi if you encounter any issues downloading the template, contact us at support\@carbonglance com 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 donβt 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" city example installation id supplier id name country / iso 2 city 1 1 installation a turkey ankara 2 2 installation b jp tokyo 3 3 installation c gb london 4 2 installation d jp tokyo edit installations click manage click edit click update to edit the information if you uploaded your installation data using the data upload template, please note that it contains only the minimum required installation information you can provide additional details about the installation in this form delete installations click delete click yes to confirm 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 click emissions data click create 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 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); 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 enter the electricity emission factor (in tco2/mwh) enter the electricity consumed (in mwh/tonne of product) 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 support\@carbonglance com 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 click next 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 click submit to save edit emissions data click the pencil icon click next click submit to save the edited information delete emissions data click the bin icon click delete to confirm click again delete to confirm if you delete the actual emissions data, the emission values used for all imports of that cn code including those from previous quarters associated with that supplier and installation will revert to the default values enter carbon price due click carbon price due click create carbon price due search and select the cbam good for which you want to add carbon pricing information select the type of carbon pricing instrument provide a description and indication of the carbon pricing legal act this refers to the regulation reference, ideally as internet link 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 click next click add product select the type of goods covered by the carbon pricing instrument the available options are actual other 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 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 enter the net mass of that cbam good in either tonnes or kg click submit to save
