For Indian steel & aluminium exporters to the EU

Your steel, priced on its real emissions.

Ferrologic Analytics turns your fuel invoices, power bills and production reports into the emissions data your EU buyers need. Without it, they price your shipment on Brussels' assumptions. Direct capture from your weighbridge and power meters is planned.

YOUR PLANT, YOUR NUMBERS

Emissions calculated from your own fuel, power and production records.

EVERY FIGURE TRACEABLE

Each value names the document or cell it came from.

01 PLANNED

At the gate

The load crosses your weighbridge. The reading is locked at the instrument (OIML R-76).

What is a weighbridge?The truck scale at your factory gate. It weighs the material coming into and leaving your plant.

02 PLANNED

In the engine

The platform computes that load's Scope 1 & 2 intensity per ton, straight from the weighbridge reading.

03 · Step 2

Every value keeps its source

For each value, the application names the place it was read from, down to the spreadsheet cell.

04 · Step 5

The workbook your buyer asked for

The European Commission's CBAM communication workbook, filled in and ready for your buyer, with every value traced to its source.

05 PLANNED

On your buyer's desk

Your EU buyer files your verified number instead of the default.

What is EU CBAM?

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism

An EU regulation that prices the carbon emissions of imported goods, including iron, steel and aluminium.

The European Commission's CBAM page →
The EU importer

Files declarations in the CBAM registry. The legal obligation and all penalties sit on the EU importer.

Your plant

May voluntarily upload verified emissions data to the registry for importers to use instead of default values.

What it prices

Embedded emissions: the greenhouse gases caused by making the goods.

When data is missing

When an importer cannot present actual, verified emissions data, the EU applies default values plus a mark-up: 10% in 2026, 20% in 2027, 30% from 2028.

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621
When it applies
1 OCTOBER 2023 – 31 DECEMBER 2025

Transitional period. Importers report emissions only.

FROM 1 JANUARY 2026 IN FORCE

Definitive regime. Importers must be authorised, file declarations, and buy and surrender CBAM certificates.

Regulation (EU) 2023/956, Articles 32 and 36

The default-value ramp

What changed on 1 January 2026

+10%

The mark-up added to default emission values in 2026. Rises to 20% in 2027.

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621
+30%

The mark-up from 2028. Unverified data gets more expensive every year.

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621
5%

The materiality threshold your emissions data must survive at verification.

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2546, Art. 5(1)

When your buyer cannot file verified actuals, the EU assigns your country's average emissions plus the mark-up. That cost lands on their invoice, and then on your negotiation.

Default values vs. your actuals

Without verified data

Your buyer files EU default values: India's average emission intensity for your product route, plus the annual mark-up. Your steel carries a competitor-average carbon bill, however clean your plant runs.

With your actuals

Your buyer files emissions calculated from your plant's own fuel, power and production records.

Why spreadsheets keep failing

Manual spreadsheets

Typed by hand, so errors get in, and nothing records where a figure came from. Verification then applies a 5% materiality threshold.

Consultants

Recurring advisory fees for numbers that still start from manual data entry.

Generic ESG platforms

Built for corporate reporting, not for a weighbridge at a smelter gate.

Every value names the document or cell it came from.

What integration will look like

The integration pathPLANNED

  1. Survey

    Weighbridge model, meters, network.

  2. Install

    An isolated, read-only Docker container at the plant edge.

  3. Verify

    Feeds stream in; the calibration lock is checked end to end.

  4. Report

    The first CBAM workbook fills from live readings.

  5. File

    Your buyer receives the workbook.

It will read your scales and meters and touch nothing else.PLANNED

  • Isolated, read-only Docker containers at the plant edge.
  • Ingests weighbridge and power-meter readings only.
  • Never writes to plant systems, PLCs, or your ERP.
  • Hardware-level calibration lock per OIML R-76, so a reading reaches the platform as the instrument produced it.

No daily data entry.

Figures are read from your documents, each with its source, so nobody types a carbon number into a portal. PLANNED Scale and meter feeds will stream in directly.

Built in India, built for how Indian plants run

Secondary steel smelters and aluminium extruders run on weighbridges, power meters and shift registers, not on clean ERP exports. This platform is built for those plants.
