CBAM Embedded Emissions Calculation
Calculating the embedded emissions of covered goods to the standard CBAM expects.
CBAM Embedded Emissions Calculation
Embedded emissions are the emissions released in producing a covered good, quantified per CN code and often including relevant precursors. The calculation follows the methodology set out in the CBAM Implementing Regulation, distinguishing direct and, where relevant, indirect emissions. Social Lab builds this calculation with you.
Your end-to-end CBAM compliance partner
Collection and calculation of CBAM emissions data, and preparation of quarterly and annual CBAM reports in line with EU requirements.
Assessment of CBAM costs based on embedded emissions and EU carbon prices, and identification of emission reduction opportunities to minimize future carbon costs.
Preparation of documentation required for CBAM verification, and coordination and support during third-party verification and annual compliance.

What are embedded emissions?
The emissions released during production of a covered good, quantified per CN code per the CBAM methodology.
Do I include precursors?
Relevant precursor emissions are included where the methodology requires it.
Which methodology applies?
