Assumes the official CBAM certificate price €75.28/tCO2e and the free-allocation deduction under Reg (EU) 2025/2620: 97.5% of the 0.666 tCO2e/t CBAM benchmark in 2026. No carbon price paid at origin.

Default values are deliberately conservative — verified emissions typically land 15 to 30% below them. The free-allocation deduction stays fixed, so every tonne of CO2e you shave off the emission value comes straight off the certificates you surrender. Download the supplier data template.
