This checklist helps sustainability teams and compliance managers understand which data points are required to calculate CBAM emissions for Sintered Ore. It supports the most common production method for sintered ore and ensures accurate, streamlined reporting aligned with EU CBAM regulations.
🔍 1. Identify Your Product and CN Code
What to do: Confirm that your product qualifies under the “Sintered Ore” category.
Why it matters: The CN code defines the product class and determines which emissions data must be collected to meet CBAM compliance.
How to proceed:
Refer to the EU’s official CBAM product list to verify that your product qualifies as sintered ore.
Typical CN codes for sintered ore begin with 2601 or related categories under steel intermediates.
Record and save your CN code—this will be required during the CBAM assessment process in the platform.
⚙️ 2. Select Your Production Method
What to do: Identify the specific production method used for creating sintered ore at your facility.
Why it matters: Each method generates different types and levels of emissions and requires specific data inputs.
How to proceed:
When you initiate a new assessment in the CBAM module, select Sintered Ore as the product type.
Choose the appropriate production method available in the platform:
Sintered Ore (Primary Method)
🔌 3. Collect Data
What to do: Gather all relevant data about material inputs, energy consumption, and processing variables over a full production year.
Why it matters: These inputs are used to calculate accurate embedded emissions, which are central to CBAM compliance.
How to proceed:
Collect emissions data from material suppliers where available, or use EU-provided default values.
Log total energy used (e.g., electricity, coke) and other production metrics tied to your selected production method over each reporting period.
📊 4. Get Emissions Calculations and Reporting
What to do: Track the total quantity of sintered ore produced and review your computed emissions results.
Why it matters: These results are required for CBAM reporting and support internal environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.
How to proceed:
Open the Product Emissions section within your CBAM reporting module.
Review system-generated emissions values based on your submitted data.
Export or submit results as required for EU CBAM filings or company ESG disclosures.
