Essential information for comprehensive CBAM reporting
Before you begin filling out the CBAM Communications Template, gather the following data:
- Installation details:
- Full name and address of the installation
- Economic activity description
- UNLOCODE (if applicable)
- Coordinates of the main emission source
- Reporting period information:
- Start and end dates of the reporting period (typically a calendar year but for the transitional period it will be the most recently concluded quarter)
- Production data:
- List of all CBAM goods and precursors produced within the installation
- Production volumes for each good, broken down by production route if applicable
- Details on goods produced for the market vs. consumed internally
- Emissions data:
- Total direct CO2 emissions
- Total indirect emissions from electricity consumption
- Emissions from biomass (if applicable)
- N2O and PFC emissions (if applicable)
- Breakdown of emissions by source (e.g., fuel combustion, process emissions)
- Energy consumption data:
- Fuel input for CBAM production processes
- Fuel input for electricity production
- Fuel input for non-CBAM processes
- Electricity consumption for each production process
- Process-specific information:
- Detailed production levels for each process
- Direct and indirect emissions attributable to each process
- Information on measurable heat imports/exports (if applicable)
- Data on waste gases (if applicable)
- Electricity exports from production processes (if applicable)
- Carbon pricing information:
- Details of any carbon price paid in your country
- Methodological information:
- Methods used for emissions monitoring (e.g., calculation-based, measurement-based)
- Information on data quality assurance procedures
- Additional relevant data:
- Information on precursors purchased from outside the installation
- Details on any verification processes (if available)
By collecting this information in advance, you'll be well-prepared to complete the template accurately and efficiently. Remember to ensure all data corresponds to the same reporting period and is as up-to-date and accurate as possible.
