CBAM Iron & steel: watch the emissions compute, by route

Iron & steel is the largest CBAM sector by volume. Embedded emissions vary enormously by route — an electric-arc furnace on scrap can be a fraction of an integrated blast-furnace route — so the production route you declare drives your bill.

Live figures, computed by the engine. No login, nothing to install. Most of the carbon is in the ironmaking step (coke, coal, sinter). The Balance Twin shows exactly where it enters and where a cleaner input would cut it.

Iron & steel CBAM — frequently asked

What are the embedded emissions (SEE) of steel for CBAM?

It depends on the route: an electric-arc furnace can be around 0.6 tCO₂e/t while an integrated blast-furnace/BOF route is around 2.2 tCO₂e/t. The tour computes each live from the engine.

Why is the CBAM cost of my steel higher than expected?

If you file on the EU default value it carries a regulatory mark-up (10–30%). Verified route data usually removes the mark-up and reflects lower real emissions.

Which CN codes does this cover?

Iron & steel goods under chapters 72 and 73 of the EU CBAM scope, including semi-finished and downstream products.
