Greenhouse gas emission intensities of the steel, fertilisers, aluminium and cement industries in the EU and its main trading partners
Publication metadata
This report provides an estimation of GHG emission intensities for products from four energy-intensive industries (iron and steel, fertilisers, aluminium and cement) in the EU and in its main trading partners. The aim of these estimations is to provide scientific support to the implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). These estimations follow the methodology and definitions of the monitoring and reporting rules of the CBAM, adapting the approach to publicly available information. The results are validated, when feasible, by comparing results at EU level with weighted average emission intensities based on actual data (i.e. data gathered through the EU ETS benchmarking exercise), taking into consideration any methodological differences. The closely matching figures prove the robustness of our approach. The potential use of the values provided in this report will facilitate the replacement of the carbon leakage mechanisms of the EU ETS with the CBAM, which, in turn, will facilitate the effective implementation of EU climate policy.
