CBAM Hydrogen: watch the emissions compute, by route

Hydrogen's CBAM footprint is defined by how it's made. Steam reforming and gasification of fossil feedstock are high; electrolysis is only as clean as its electricity.

Live figures, computed by the engine. No login, nothing to install. The tour contrasts the routes side by side — grey (reforming), and electrolytic (grid-dependent) — so the production method's impact is obvious.

From tour to filed declaration

The tour shows the model; the full app turns it into a submission — every number from the same engine.

Step 1

Model your plant

Hydrogen CBAM — frequently asked

What are the CBAM embedded emissions of hydrogen?

Steam-reformed (grey) hydrogen is around 10 tCO₂e/t; electrolytic hydrogen depends entirely on the electricity used. The tour computes each route live.

Is electrolytic hydrogen always lower-carbon for CBAM?

Only if the electricity is low-carbon. On a fossil grid, electrolysis can be as high as reforming. The tour makes the electricity dependence explicit.

Which CN codes does this cover?

Hydrogen under heading 2804 of the EU CBAM scope.
