Eel is the net electricity production of the cogeneration unit during the reporting period, expressed in TJ.

Where the determination of the efficiencies ηheat and ηel is technically not feasible or would incur unreasonable costs, values based on technical documentation (design values) of the installation shall be used. If no such values are available, conservative standard values of ηheat = 0,55 and ηel = 0,25 shall be used.

The attribution factors for heat and electricity from CHP shall be calculated as follows:

Image omitted; see official source (Equation 49)
Image omitted; see official source (Equation 50)

Where:

FCHP,Heat is the attribution factor for heat (dimensionless);

FCHP,El is the attribution factor for electricity (or mechanical energy, if applicable) (dimensionless);

ηref, heat is the reference efficiency for heat production in a stand-alone boiler (dimensionless); and

ηref,el is the reference efficiency of electricity production without cogeneration (dimensionless).

The appropriate fuel-specific reference efficiencies are given in point G of Annex II.

The specific emission factor of the CHP-related measurable heat to be used for the attribution of heat-related emissions to production processes shall be calculated as:

EFCHP,Heat = EmCHP × FCHP,Heat/Qnet (Equation 51)

Where:

EFCHP, heat is the emission factor for the production of measurable heat in the cogeneration unit expressed in t CO2/TJ and

Qnet is the net heat produced by the cogeneration unit expressed in TJ.

The emissions from heat produced in the cogeneration attributable to the production process shall be calculated as:

EmHeat = EFCHP, heat × Qconsumed

Where:

Qconsumed is the amount of measurable heat consumed in the production process expressed in TJ.

The specific emission factor of the CHP-related electricity to be used for the attribution of indirect emissions to production processes shall be calculated as:

EFCHP,El = EmCHP × FCHP,El/EEl,prod (Equation 52)

Where:

EEl,prod is the electricity produced by the CHP unit.

Where a waste gas is part of the fuel mix used, and where the emission factor of the waste gas is higher than the standard emission factor of natural gas given in Table 1 of point G of Annex II, that standard emission factor is used to calculate EFmix instead of the emission factor of the waste gas.

Measurable heat produced outside the installation

Where a production process consumes measurable heat produced outside the installation, the heat-related emissions are to be included independently on whether the heat stems from the production process of a good listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2023/956 or not. In this case, the heat related emissions shall be determined using one of the following methods.

  • (1) Where the installation producing the heat carries out emission monitoring in line with this Regulation and verification of the emission sources and the quantities of measurable heat exported in line with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/2551, the emission factor of measurable heat shall be determined using relevant equations of previous points, based on emission data provided by the operator of the installation producing the measurable heat.
  • (2) Where the method pursuant to point 1 is not available, a standard value is used, based on the standard emission factor of the fuel most commonly used in the industrial sector of the country, assuming a boiler efficiency of 90 %.

Further rules for the attribution of emissions from measurable heat

Where losses of measurable heat are determined separately from the amounts used in production processes, emissions related to these heat losses shall be added proportionally to the emissions of all production processes in which measurable heat produced in the installation is used, in order to ensure that 100 % of the quantity of net measurable heat produced within the installation, or imported or exported by the installation, as well as quantities transferred between production processes, are attributed to production processes without any omission or double counting.

A.2.3.   Waste gases

If waste gases from a different production process are consumed in the production process of the good, the emissions are attributed on the basis of Equation 53.

Image omitted; see official source (Equation 53)

Where:

VWG is the volume of the waste gas imported;

NCVWG is the net calorific value of the waste gas imported; and

EFNG is the standard emission factor of natural gas as given in point G of Annex II.

If waste gases from the production process of the good are consumed in a different production process, the emissions are attributed according to the Equation 54, if the installation operator can provide sufficient evidence for verification.

Image omitted; see official source (Equation 54)

Where:

VWG,exported is the volume of waste gas exported from the production process;

NCVWG is the net calorific value of the waste gas;

EFNG is the standard emission factor of natural gas as given in point G of Annex II; and

Corrη is the factor that accounts for the difference in efficiencies between the use of waste gas and the use of the reference fuel natural gas. The standard value is Corrη = 0,667.

A.3.   Calculation methods

For the purpose of assigning the installation’s emissions to goods, the emissions, inputs, and outputs shall be attributed to production processes defined in accordance with point A.4 using Equation 55 for direct emissions and Equation 56 for indirect emissions, using total figures over the whole reporting period for the parameters given in the equation. The attributed direct and indirect emissions shall then be converted into specific embedded direct and indirect emissions of the goods resulting from the production process using Equations 57 and 58.

Image omitted; see official source (Equation 55)

Where AttrEm Dir is calculated to have a negative value, it shall be set to zero.

Waste gases: The emissions caused by waste gases produced and fully consumed within the same production process are included in DirEm. The emissions from the combustion of waste gases exported from the production process are fully included in DirEm irrespective of where they are consumed. However, for exports of waste gases the term WGcorr,export shall be calculated. Emissions from the combustion of waste gases imported from other production processes are not taken into account in DirEm. Instead the term WGcorr,import* shall be calculated;
Em H,imp are the emissions equivalent to the quantity of measurable heat imported to the production process, determined for the reporting period using the rules provided in point A.2 of this Annex, and the following rules: Emissions related to measurable heat imported to the production process include imports from other installations, other production processes within the same installation, as well as heat received from a technical unit (e.g. a central power house at the installation, or a more complex steam network with several heat producing units) that supplies heat to more than one production process. Emissions from measurable heat shall be calculated using the following formula: Image omitted; see official source (Equation 52) Where: EFheat is the emission factor for the production of measurable heat determined in accordance with point A.2 of this Annex, expressed in t CO2/TJ and Qimp is the net heat imported to and consumed in the production process expressed in TJ;

For the exported heat either the emissions of the actually known fuel mix in accordance with point A.2 of this Annex shall be used, or – if the actual fuel mix is unknown – the standard emission factor of fuel most commonly used in the country and industrial sector, assuming a boiler efficiency of 90 %. Heat recovered from electricity-driven processes and from nitric acid production shall not be accounted;
WG corr,imp are the attributed direct emissions of a production process consuming waste gases imported from other production processes, corrected for the reporting period;

B. CALCULATION OF SPECIFIC EMBEDDED EMISSIONS OF COMPLEX GOODS

In accordance with Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2023/956, the specific embedded emissions SEE g of complex goods g shall be calculated as follows:

Image omitted; see official source (Equation 59)
Image omitted; see official source (Equation 60)

Where:

SEE g are the specific direct or indirect embedded emissions of (complex) goods g expressed in t CO2e per functional unit;

AttrEm g are the attributed direct or indirect emissions of the production process yielding goods g determined in accordance with point A.3 of this Annex for the reporting period, expressed in t CO2e;

AL g is the activity level of the production process yielding goods g for the reporting period determined in accordance with point F of Annex II, expressed in functional units;

EE InpMat are the embedded direct or indirect emissions of all precursors consumed during the reporting period, expressed in t CO2e;

M i is the mass of precursor i used in the production process yielding g during the reporting period, expressed in functional units of precursor i, and

SEE i are the specific direct or indirect embedded emissions of precursor i expressed in t CO2e per functional unit of precursor i.

In this calculation, only precursors not covered by the same production process as goods g are taken into account. Where the same precursor is obtained from different production processes, the precursor from each installation shall be treated separately.

If a precursor i originates in the Union or in one of the countries or territories exempted pursuant to point 1 of Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2023/956 the specific direct or indirect embedded emissions of that precursor shall be counted as zero.

Where a precursor i itself has precursors, those precursors are first taken into account using the same calculation method in order to calculate the embedded emissions of the precursor i before they are used for calculating the embedded emissions of goods g. This method is used recursively to all precursors which are complex goods.

The parameter Mi refers to the total mass of precursor required to produce the amount ALg. It also includes quantities of the precursor which do not end up in the complex goods but may be spilt, cut off, combusted, chemically modified, etc. in the production process and leave the process as by-products, scrap, residues, wastes, or emissions.

In order to provide data which can be used independently of activity levels, the specific mass consumption mi for each precursor i shall be determined and included in the communication pursuant to Annex IV:

Thereby the specific embedded emissions of complex goods g may be expressed as:

SEE i are the specific direct or indirect embedded emissions of precursor i expressed in t CO2e per functional unit of precursor i.

For goods whose functional units are tonnes of clinker content and are commercialised in different ranges of composition, the operator will calculate the specific embedded emissions of goods according to the clinker contained in the goods averaged for each range of composition, applying Equation 64.

SEEg(Cki ) = SEEg × CKi** (Equation 64)

Where:

SEEg(Cki ) is the specific embedded emissions of the good with clinker content Cki;

SEE g is the specific embedded emissions calculated in Equation 59 or 62;

CK i is the average clinker content of the goods within a range of composition in tonnes of clinker per tonnes of goods.

ANNEX V

Region-specific adaptations of default values

For the purpose of point 7 of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2023/956, alternative region-specific adaptations of default values may be used for a good imported during a given year, where the authorised CBAM declarant demonstrates to the Commission, by 30 June of that year, based on datasets from reliable alternative official sources, including national statistics, covering one calendar year, that alternative region-specific adaptations of default values are lower than the default values laid down in accordance with Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2023/956.

Where the Commission considers the provided alternative official sources reliable, it shall modify, where feasible by 30 June of the following year, the relevant default values laid down in accordance with Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2023/956. The modified default values shall be applicable to goods imported during the year in which the datasets from alternative official sources were provided.

Where an authorised CBAM declarant provides the datasets from alternative official sources after 30 June of the year of import of a good, and where the Commission considers them reliable, it shall modify, where feasible by 30 June of the second year following the year during which the datasets from alternative official sources were provided, the relevant default values laid down in accordance with Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2023/956. The modified default values shall be applicable to goods imported during the year following the year in which the datasets from alternative official sources were provided. Where the Commission manages to modify the relevant default values in the year following the year during which the datasets from alternative official sources were provided and before the deadline for submitting CBAM declarations in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2023/956, the modified default values shall be applicable to goods imported during the year in which the datasets from alternative official sources were provided.
