EU CBAM Compliance  ·  India → Europe

The EU now
charges for
the carbon in
your exports.

From 2026, every Indian exporter of steel, aluminium, cement or fertilizers must submit verified carbon data to EU buyers — or face automatic penalties.

What is CBAM?
01
You export to Europe
Your factory ships steel, aluminium or cement to a European buyer. Until 2025, nothing beyond standard customs was needed.
02
EU demands verified carbon data from 2026
Your EU buyer must declare the exact CO₂ embedded in every tonne in their Annual CBAM Declaration.
03
Without data — punitive defaults apply
No verified data? EU assigns a value 30–50% higher than actual. Your buyer pays more and passes the cost back to you.
04
TradeShield delivers the verified number
We collect factory data, calculate actual embedded carbon, get it third-party verified, and deliver the full compliance package.

For Indian Manufacturers

Your EU buyer is about to ask for carbon data.
Be ready.

From 2026, every shipment of steel, aluminium, cement or fertilizers to the EU must come with verified embedded carbon data. Without it, your buyer pays EU defaults — and deducts the difference from your price.

→We visit your factory and collect 12 months of energy and fuel data
→We calculate your actual embedded carbon per tonne, per shipment
→Our accredited partner verifies the data — EU-accepted certificate
→5-year audit vault keeps you protected for any EU inspection

For EU Importers & Buyers

Your Indian suppliers need to provide this.
We make it happen.

Your Annual CBAM Declaration for 2026 imports is due in early 2027. You need verified emissions data from every Indian supplier. Without it, EU customs assigns punitive defaults — and you fund the difference.

→We onboard your Indian suppliers and collect their factory data
→Verified emissions data ready for your CBAM declaration
→Works across multiple suppliers — steel, aluminium, cement, fertilizers
→€40–60 saved per tonne vs EU default penalties
Covered Sectors

Six industries.
One compliance deadline.

Iron & Steel
High Volume · 98% of current CBAM trade
Highest penalty exposure. India is the world's 2nd largest steel producer with major EU export corridors.
2.67 → 1.82 tCO₂/t
€51/t saved
Aluminium
High Exposure · Electricity-intensive
India's grid factor (0.82 kg/kWh) is significantly higher than EU benchmarks — making indirect emissions critical.
6.72 → 4.10 tCO₂/t
€157/t saved
Cement
Process Emissions · Limestone calcination
Limestone calcination releases CO₂ directly. Kiln type and fuel source determine actual emission rate.
0.81 → 0.55 tCO₂/t
€16/t saved
Fertilizers
Ammonia Synthesis · Gas-intensive
Nitrogen-based fertilizers from ammonia synthesis using natural gas. N₂O emissions also in scope.
2.84 → 1.90 tCO₂/t
€56/t saved
Electricity
Cross-border power trade
Grid emission factor determines embedded carbon. Renewable sourcing reduces liability significantly.
0.82 kg CO₂/kWh · India grid
Hydrogen
Green vs grey production
Production method determines carbon intensity. Green hydrogen (electrolysis) vs grey (SMR) differ enormously.
9–12 tCO₂/t · Grey hydrogen

The Data Gap

Your factory has the data.
The EU needs it formatted.

🇮🇳 What your factory generates
Monthly EB bills — kWh totals, not batch-level
Coal invoices — quantity, no CO₂ equivalent
Production logs — tonnes per shift, no BoL link
Furnace records — temperature, no emission factor
No third-party verification certificate

🇪🇺 What the EU auditor demands
Embedded carbon per tonne, per shipment, per BoL
Fuel consumption × emission factor (ISO 14064)
MWh consumed × India grid factor (0.82 kg/kWh)
Third-party verified certificate from accredited body
5-year audit vault with all supporting documents
The Embedded Carbon Formula
Direct Emissions = Fuel Consumption × Emission Factor
Indirect Emissions = MWh Consumed × 0.82 kg CO₂/kWh (India Grid)
Embedded Carbon = (Direct + Indirect) ÷ Total Production Volume
