Direct Emissions under CBAM
Identifying and quantifying the direct emissions of your covered production.
Direct Emissions under CBAM
Direct emissions under CBAM are those from processes at your own installation, such as fuel combustion and process reactions. They are a defined component of embedded emissions for covered goods. Social Lab helps you identify direct emission sources and quantify them within the correct boundaries.
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.

Direct Emissions under CBAM — questions we get
What counts as direct emissions?
Emissions from processes and fuel combustion at your own installation, within the defined system boundary.
How are they quantified?
From activity data such as fuel and process inputs, applying the CBAM methodology.
Are process reactions included?
Yes, where they occur within the product boundary and are covered by the methodology.
