Service Overview

CBAM Support and Gap Assessments

CBAM Support and Gap Assessments from Green Vertex help exporters of covered goods — including cement, iron & steel, aluminium, fertilizers, hydrogen and electricity — understand and meet their obligations under the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). We assess current data readiness against CBAM requirements and identify gaps in embedded emissions data and reporting systems.

The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism introduces new reporting obligations for exporters of covered goods, and many organizations are still building the data systems required to comply. We help you assess applicability, calculate embedded emissions and close the gaps between your current data and CBAM's requirements.
