Steel is entering China’s carbon market while facing CBAM on EU exports. How one connected “carbon ledger” serves both domestic compliance and exports.
Carbon pressure from two directions
Domestically, steel is phasing into the national carbon market with monthly data and annual compliance; externally, EU exports face CBAM embedded-emissions filing. Both rest on solid emissions accounting.
One ledger, two uses
A unified “carbon ledger” built on organizational and product carbon footprints serves allowance compliance and CCER domestically and CBAM filings abroad — avoiding two separately maintained datasets.
Turning compliance into assets
A clear carbon ledger does more than satisfy compliance — it identifies mitigation projects, develops CCERs and optimises CBAM tariffs, turning a cost centre into a source of value.
