@cbam_hub The pain point is real—I've seen teams waste hundreds of hours just parsing data formats. One thing I'd be curious about: how do you handle the emissions calculation discrepancies between different scopes and methodologies? That seems like where most importers get stuck even after automating the filing part.
@osakasaul Great question — this is exactly where we focused the most engineering effort.
CBAM HUB handles methodology discrepancies at the source. The calculation engine applies sector-specific formulas from IR 2023/1773 Annex III: EAF steel uses a full carbon mass balance (scrap, electrodes, DRI inputs vs. steel/slag/dust outputs × 3.664), aluminium adds PFC emissions (CF4/C2F6) using IPCC AR5 GWP factors, hydrogen gets zero indirect emissions by regulation — each sector has its own logic, not a one-size-fits-all multiplier.
For importers who don't have actual production data, we built a Default Values fallback automatically matched by CN code and country — the same tiered lookup the EU regulation prescribes (country-specific → global XX → null).
Scope confusion (direct vs. indirect) is handled per-good: indirect emissions are only included where the regulation allows, and the electricity emission factor is pulled by country of production — not a generic grid average.
The system also shows how reported SEE compares against EU default values, so importers can spot discrepancies before filing — without needing to understand the underlying methodology themselves.
The result: upload the supplier document, the AI extracts the numbers, the engine applies the right formula, and the XML is ready for the EU registry.
