Emissions breakdown

Segregate CBAM data into factory evidence buckets

Separate the work into fuel/process data, electricity data, and relevant precursor/supplier data. CBAM uses direct, indirect and precursor embedded-emissions language; Scope labels are only shown as familiar guidance.

Scope 1-likeDirect emissionsFuel and process emissions inside the factory boundary.
EvidenceFuel invoice, gas/coal logs, NCV/lab report.
StatusFuel found · NCV missing.
Needs review
Scope 2-likeElectricity / indirect emissionsPurchased electricity used for production.
EvidenceElectricity bill, PPA/REC if green power claimed.
Status48,500 kWh linked.
Linked
Scope 3-likeRelevant precursor emissionsOnly CBAM-relevant upstream material data, not full corporate Scope 3.
EvidenceMTR, supplier CBAM report, supplier declaration.
StatusMass found · supplier emissions missing.
Supplier gap
Note: This structure helps factories segregate CBAM evidence efficiently. Actual applicability depends on sector, product and CBAM rules.
💡
Pro Tip: Treat CBAM as a quarterly data-segregation exercise. Keep energy bills, fuel invoices, production logs, MTRs, export invoices and supplier declarations in separate evidence folders from day one. This reduces last-minute work when an EU buyer asks for data.
Buyer request

EU buyer has requested CBAM data

Start from the real-world trigger: a buyer requests embedded emissions data for a shipment.

ItemValueAction
BuyerMeyer Industrial Components GmbH
DestinationEU member
Product / CN codeSteel screws and bolts · CN 7318
Shipment quantity120 tonnes
Reporting periodPrepare evidence
Due date12 days left Time-sensitive
Note: CBAM uses direct, indirect and relevant precursor embedded-emissions language. Scope 1/2/3-like labels are shown to help factory teams organise data, not to imply a full corporate GHG inventory.

💡
Pro Tip: When a buyer sends a CBAM request, first map it to product, CN code, shipment quantity and reporting quarter. Then collect only the evidence needed for that scope.
Industry workflow

Choose the sector and evidence path

The platform keeps the UI simple while organising CBAM data by sector, product, process route and evidence type.

Ready

Iron & Steel

Fasteners, billets, wire rod, tubes.

Preview

Aluminium

Extrusions, billets, profiles.

Checklist

Cement

Clinker, cement, kiln data.

Checklist

Fertilisers

Ammonia, urea, nitric acid.

Checklist

💡
Pro Tip: Start with the highest-value EU export product and its most frequent CN code. This gives a focused first pack instead of trying to solve all products at once.
Scope check

Product and export information

The customer enters product and export information. Aekam checks whether the goods appear CBAM-relevant and what evidence is needed.

Status: CBAM relevant

This product appears to fall under Iron & Steel / CN 7318. A CBAM evidence pack is recommended for the EU buyer request.

Evidence required
Energy, fuel, production and precursor proof
💡
Pro Tip: If product classification is unclear, collect export invoice, packing list and product technical sheet together. This helps avoid wrong CN-code driven evidence collection.
Factory profile

Installation and Indian exporter details

India-specific fields help keep the CBAM pack aligned with export, finance and factory records.

Benefit: The product flow reflects real manufacturing records, not a generic ESG form.
💡
Pro Tip: Confirm the production route early. It affects which evidence is needed and which assumptions should be clearly documented for review.
Evidence locker

Documents classified and linked to CBAM fields

The evidence locker helps factories and industries segregate CBAM data by energy, production, precursor, export, and factory profile evidence. Each document can be linked to fields, calculations and EU workbook sections.

Production and precursor evidence

Add more evidence

Upload GST invoice, DISCOM bill, packing list, shipping bill, lab report, supplier declaration, PPA/REC certificate, meter log or ERP export.

Connect data sources

Collect evidence continuously

Connect existing sources so CBAM evidence can be collected from emails, shared folders, and business systems instead of manual uploads every quarter.

Email Inbox

Buyer requests, invoices, supplier MTRs.

💡
Pro Tip: Upload original bills, MTRs and ERP logs instead of only summary Excel files. Original evidence gives buyers and verifiers more confidence and makes field-level proof easier.
AI extraction review

Review and approve extracted values

Each value can be accepted, corrected, or linked back to source evidence before calculation.

Note: Fuel quantity confidence is 82%. Confirm whether invoice value is in kg or standard cubic meter before final calculation.

Document-level HITL

Review every evidence document before it is used

Factories can confirm document type, reporting period, extracted fields and CBAM linkage before any value is used in calculations or buyer/verifier packs.

Actual data benefit

Indicative

Using your own evidence-backed data may help reduce reliance on conservative default or fallback values.

18–28%
Potential improvement in reported emissions quality.
Risk: If supplier emissions are not available, the buyer/verifier may ask for additional proof or require fallback/default treatment.
💡
Pro Tip: If renewable electricity is used, upload PPA, REC, green power or grid-source evidence. This can improve the quality of indirect-emissions reporting.
Golden-thread audit trail

Every number links back to proof

The customer, buyer, or verifier can click a field and immediately see the source document, calculation logic, workbook mapping and review history.

Risks and warnings

Precursor gap: MTR has heat number and mass, but supplier-specific emissions are missing.

Fuel review: Fuel quantity is available, but the unit and NCV support should be reviewed before final calculations.

Renewable claim: Do not claim green electricity unless PPA/REC or equivalent proof is uploaded.

Recommended next actions

1. Generate supplier request
Ask for precursor mass, production route, reporting period and specific embedded emissions.
2. Add fuel quality support
Upload NCV/carbon content or lab certificate if available.
3. Review workbook mapping
Check D_Processes, E_PurchPrec and Summary_Communication before sharing.
4. Share buyer pack
Send summary and evidence index with open assumptions clearly marked.
💡
Pro Tip: Create a CBAM folder for every quarter: Energy, Production, Material/Precursor, Export, Supplier Requests and Review Notes. This makes CBAM a controlled factory process instead of a last-minute email search.
