At India's default values, EU buyers of Indian hot-rolled coil face a CBAM charge of about €278 per tonne of steel, on top of the steel price (Q3 2026 certificate price). EcoSteel calculates your actual embedded emissions, heat by heat, from data your plant already records — and prepares the evidence your accredited verifier needs.

Email these resultsCost = (embedded emissions − free allocation) × quarterly certificate price. Default path: India default 4.28 tCO₂e/t with the 2026 mark-up, and free allocation 0.975 × 1.37 (the BF-BOF Column B benchmark assigned to India). Actual path: free allocation built from Column A process benchmarks and an assumed precursor mix for your route (BF-BOF: 1.03 t slab/t HRC, 0.90 t hot metal/t slab, 1.55 t sinter+pellets/t hot metal; DRI-EAF: 0.85 t DRI/t slab, 1.45 t pellets/t DRI; scrap-EAF: no CBAM precursors). Your verified mass balance decides. Defaults per Implementing Regulations (EU) 2025/2621 and 2026/1740; benchmarks per (EU) 2025/2620. Indicative only; your verifier and EU importer determine the final figure.
