About cbam.hub

Cbam.hub is a platform that facilitates the streamlined and seamless communication of CBAM data from suppliers of CBAM goods to the companies importing them to the EU. The platform offers a secure, automised and structured approach for the transmission of CBAM data.

cbam.hub offers no assistance to the producers of CBAM goods with the calculation of embedded emissions. Producers requiring help in the collection and calculation of CBAM data please refer to the European Commission’s CBAM webpage, specifically the Guidance document on CBAM implementation for installation operators outside the EU, or consult a CBAM expert. If you are not the producer of CBAM goods but an intermediary supplying EU companies with CBAM goods, please reach out to the producers to collect the required data.

How it works

This is how it works in principle. Your clients purchased goods that are subject to the CBAM regulation and imported them to the EU. They are obliged by EU Law to regularly provide information on the emissions associated with the production of their imported CBAM goods in the form of CBAM reports and declarations. Within these reports, importers must communicate the embedded emissions based on actual data communicated by producers and calculated according to CBAM rules.

Importers make use of cbam.hub to source CBAM data from their suppliers. They upload data on the CBAM goods they imported to the EU alongside with contact information on suppliers. Cbam.hub identifies the data which needs to be obtained from suppliers to generate complete CBAM reports. cbam.hub then reaches out to producers and request the needed data. Before the submission deadline for CBAM reports, cbam.hub collects all information provided by producers and compiles reports.

Step-by-step guide for filling data queries

Please select if you are the producer of this article or an intermediary. If you are the producer, fill in the required fields with administrative data. Make sure to enter the full legal name of the producing company. If you are not the producer, please click ‘Add Producer’ and enter the data obtained from your supplier. The contact information will not be used by cbam.hub for the provision of access, but is put in the  your clients’ CBAM reports together with the rest of the administrative data.

Specify in which country and in which production facility the queried goods were produced.

An emission profile is the set of CBAM data associated with a group of articles you created in step x. It is valid for the monitoring period only, i.e. the reference period for suppliers for determining CBAM-compliant data. Usually, this is the calendar year prior to the year when the goods were imported to the EU. You generate an emission profile in cbam.hub by providing a name (e.g. carbon steel screws) and the monitoring period.

Next, provide the total volume of goods associated with the emissions profile, within the installation and during the monitoring period. Choose one or more of the possible production methods.

Under type of applicable reporting methodology, choose according to which rules embedded emissions were calculated. ‘Commission Rules’ refer to the official CBAM calculation rules. Choose ‘Other Methods’ if you determined embedded emissions based on a different monitoring method with similar coverage and accuracy. Such methods could be prescribed by an existing carbon pricing scheme, a compulsory emission monitoring scheme, or an emission monitoring scheme at the installation which can include verification by an accredited verifier. In such cases, please specify the exact methodology in the field ‘Additional Information’ below.

Enter the Specific Direct Embedded Emissions determined according to the selected method and make sure to convert to tons of CO2-equivalent per ton of product if necessary.

Provide the determined specific indirect embedded emissions in the correct unit and also
