FAQ Section
CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is an EU regulation requiring importers of certain goods — including steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen — to report and pay for the carbon emissions embedded in those goods. All EU importers of CBAM-covered goods are required to comply from the transitional reporting phase onwards.
Emisthra automates the full CBAM compliance workflow: supplier data collection, embedded carbon calculations using EU-approved emission factors, CBAM declaration generation, EU Registry XML export, and certificate management — replacing manual spreadsheet-based processes with a reliable, audit-ready platform.
Emisthra uses the EU Commission’s pre-loaded emission factor database (with version control) to automatically calculate the embedded carbon in your imported goods based on facility-level data submitted by your suppliers. Custom emission factors can also be added and managed where required.
Emisthra integrates with real-time EU ETS (Emissions Trading System) carbon price feeds to display live pricing, historical trends, and automated cost calculations (tonnes of CO2 × current price). Price alerts and budget forecasting tools help you manage your CBAM financial obligations proactively.
The multi-importer dashboard gives compliance teams and consultants a single, consolidated view of CBAM compliance status across multiple entities, importers, or clients — each with their own facilities, supplier data, declarations, and certificates — all managed from one login.
