CBAM Default Values vs Actual Data
Deciding when to use CBAM default values versus your own actual emissions data.
CBAM Default Values vs Actual Data
Where actual emissions data is unavailable, CBAM allows default values to be used under the conditions in the Implementing Regulation. Defaults are designed to be conservative, so actual verified data can often better reflect real performance. Social Lab helps you weigh the two and prepare actual data where worthwhile.

Defaults are conservative by design, so accurate actual data can better reflect strong real-world performance.
Do I have to pick one for all products?
No. The approach can be assessed product by product based on data availability.
