A standardized tool for reporting emissions data
The articles in this section break down the terminology and simplifies the concepts in the CBAM reporting template. This will help you understand what's being asked in more approachable terms.
In short, the CBAM communication or reporting template is an Excel file developed to facilitate the exchange of information between producers outside the EU and importers (or their representatives) who need to report under CBAM. Its main purpose is to:
- Collect standardized data on embedded emissions in goods covered by CBAM.
- Ensure consistency in reporting across different producers and importers.
- Simplify the process of gathering complex emissions data.
The template helps producers organize and present their emissions data in a format that aligns with CBAM requirements, making it easier for importers to complete their CBAM reports accurately.
You can download the template here.
Emitwise has posted several articles breaking down these terms and concepts, we hope to make the CBAM reporting process more accessible and less intimidating for suppliers.
Remember, the goal is to provide accurate information about how much carbon is involved in making your products, from the raw materials to the final product.
