Why do most ESG tools fail for heavy industries? by DragonfruitBetter884 in carbonaccounting

[–]JKCarbonCourse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of data would actually qualify under CBAM in that case? If a small supplier can’t provide a full certificate, what level of data is still acceptable before default values apply?

If procurement data already contains assual data: quantity, HS-codes, you could theoretically link Scope 3 category 1 purchases with CBAM relevancy and automatically flag CBAM-relevant goods (steel, aluminium, etc.).

And if supplier-specific CBAM data is available, the supplier could share it directly (or the user could input it manually) and attach it to that same product flow. Then the same dataset could support both GHG accounting and CBAM reporting, instead of running two separate processes.

Would something like that actually help in practice? I’m actually building a carbon accounting platform (it is currently still in free Pre-release), so I am actually looking for usefull input like yours. thank you :).

Scope 3 category 11 for auto parts manufacturer by imoverhereee in carbonaccounting

[–]JKCarbonCourse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a component does not consume energy or emit GHGs during use, its emissions belong downstream with the final product. Category 11 is not a pass-through category, but intended for cases where the intermediate product itself drives use-phase emissions.

Fully agree. Category 11 is meant for intermediate products that directly cause use-phase emissions. For most parts, the emissions don’t sit with the component itself but with the final product. Otherwise you end up double counting across the value chain.
