The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is not just a regulatory requirement, it’s the future of global trade. As the EU enforces stricter climate policies under the European Green Deal, businesses that import carbon-intensive goods must now account for their emissions footprint at the border. This means accurate, auditable, and real-time carbon accounting is no longer optional.
Emission Core empowers your CBAM compliance with a powerful digital infrastructure tailored for manufacturers, logistics providers, and importers. Our platform automates:
Built with audit-proof traceability and backed by verified datasets, Emission Core reduces the administrative burden, eliminates costly manual errors, and gives you full control over your CBAM exposure. Whether you’re preparing for the transitional phase or gearing up for certificate purchasing in 2026, Emission Core is your compliance backbone.
Start now, stay ahead, and transform compliance into a competitive advantage.

CBAM is the EU’s mechanism to prevent carbon leakage by applying a carbon cost on imports of high-emission products. It currently targets cement, steel, aluminium, hydrogen, fertilizers, and electricity imported into the EU.
Since October 2023, quarterly CBAM reports are mandatory during the transition phase. Full carbon pricing begins in January 2026. Non-compliance may result in penalties and import disruption.
We automate supplier onboarding, collect embedded carbon data, and generate verified CBAM reports using EU templates. Our workflow ensures your supply chain remains fully traceable and compliant.
CBAM emissions often fall under Scope 3 Category 1 (Purchased Goods & Services). Our solution ensures the data collected for CBAM also feeds into ESG and CSRD disclosures.
Yes. We provide supplier portals for easy document submission, emission factor input, and guidance in multiple languages, tailored for exporters in CBAM-targeted sectors.
Yes. We maintain timestamped audit logs and verification-ready reports aligned with EU guidance and customs data structures.
Yes. Under the EU CBAM regulation, importers are exempt from quarterly reporting if their total imports of CBAM goods do not exceed 50 metric tons per product category per quarter. This threshold applies to goods like cement, aluminium, fertilizers, electricity, hydrogen, and steel.
However, businesses must still monitor their volumes carefully and be prepared to report once the threshold is exceeded. Emission Core automatically tracks shipment volumes to ensure compliance and prevent accidental non-reporting.
CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is a European Union regulation requiring importers of carbon-intensive goods to report and eventually pay for embedded emissions associated with their products. It applies to importers of goods such as iron, steel, aluminium, fertilizer, cement, hydrogen, and electricity.
Mandatory CBAM certificate purchasing begins in 2026. Until then, companies are in a transitional reporting phase (2023–2025) and must file quarterly reports on embedded emissions.
Yes. Emission Core offers complete CBAM functionality including emissions calculation (aligned with GHG Protocol), quarterly reporting, and import declaration tools compliant with Regulation (EU) 2023/956.
Yes. Emission Core uses blockchain-backed verification and secure data hosting to ensure traceability, transparency, and data integrity.
Yes. We support CSRD-aligned reporting structures, especially for companies required to disclose Scope 3 emissions, product-level sustainability data, and digital product documentation.
Yes. We are currently available with a multilingual support, including English, Dutch, German, Spanish, and French.
