Does the CBAM Reporter handle the XML file format required by the EU?

Yes. The agent is specifically programmed to generate reports in the mandatory XML structure defined by the EU Commission. It maps your data fields to the correct XML tags, ensuring the file is technically valid and ready for upload to the Transitional Registry.

How does it get data from suppliers who don't track emissions?

The agent initiates automated outreach campaigns, sending simplified data collection forms to suppliers in their native language. If suppliers cannot provide data, the agent helps estimate emissions using regional benchmarks or default values while flagging the gap for future improvement.

Which sectors does this solution cover?

It covers all six sectors currently targeted by CBAM: Cement, Iron and Steel, Aluminum, Fertilizers, Electricity, and Hydrogen. It includes logic for calculating both direct emissions and relevant indirect emissions based on the specific product category.

Is the data secure and audit-ready?

Absolutely. The system creates an immutable audit trail for every report. It archives the source documents (bills, invoices), the communication logs with suppliers, and the calculation methodology used, ensuring you have a defensible 'evidence pack' for any regulatory audit.

Can it integrate with our existing ERP?

Yes. The **CBAM Reporter** is designed to integrate via API with major ERPs (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics). It pulls import data (quantities, weights, origins) directly from your system to trigger the reporting process without manual data re-entry.

Carbon Calculator - AI-Powered Scope 3 Emissions Tracking for Global Trade

CBAM Reporter is an AI worker that autonomously manages EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism compliance.

It collects Tier 1-3 supplier emissions data, calculates embedded carbon at SKU level, and generates mandatory XML reports-reducing compliance cycles from 7 days to 1.5 days while avoiding €10-€50/tonne penalties.

What is CBAM Reporter?

Carbon Border Tax Compliance. The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism mandates that importers of cement, iron/steel, aluminum, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen report and pay for embedded emissions. This agent eliminates the manual nightmare of spreadsheets, supplier email chains, and CO2e conversion calculations.
Active Data Hunting. Scrapes energy usage data, BOMs, and production logs from supplier portals. Uses NLP to interpret unstructured utility bills and technical data sheets from Tier 1-3 suppliers, extracting granular energy mix data for specific embedded emission calculations at the SKU level.
Actual vs Default Values. Unlike static carbon calculators using punitive country-level defaults, this agent pursues actual supplier data to prove lower carbon intensity-directly reducing tax liability. Ensures importers pay only for carbon they're actually responsible for.
Regulatory Shield. Automates XML report generation for the EU's Transitional Registry. Penalties range from €10 to €50 per tonne of unreported emissions. Continuously monitors for emission factor updates and adjusts calculation logic automatically.

Replaces:

Manual quarterly supplier outreach for energy consumption data.

Fragile Excel models converting energy usage to CO2e metrics.

Punitive "default values" with actual validated primary data.

Manual XML formatting for CBAM Transitional Registry.

Reactive audit scrambles with real-time immutable audit trails.

Why CBAM Reporter?

Mitigate Financial Penalties. Non-compliance can result in €10-€50 per tonne penalties, accumulating to millions for high-volume steel/aluminum importers. Validates every data point against EU methodology before submission.
Automate Supplier Data Collection. AI-driven supply chain mapping reduces manual supplier management effort by up to 80%. Generates multi-lingual data request forms, follows up autonomously, validates against industry benchmarks.
Optimize Carbon Tax Liability. Pursues actual data to prove lower carbon intensity than default values. Documents renewable energy use or electric arc furnaces to significantly lower calculated tax burden.
Accelerate Reporting Cycles. Reduces compliance process times from 7 days to 1.5 days. Produces draft reports in minutes rather than weeks of manual data aggregation and formatting.

How CBAM Reporter integrates with your systems

CBAM Filing Automation

CBAMCarbonEU Compliance

Loading workflow...

Pulls import records on schedule, uses AI to calculate embedded carbon values, maps them to CBAM categories, generates declarations, and submits to the EU portal.

Data Ingestion & Supplier Mapping. Connects to ERP/purchase order systems for CN code imports. Maps to specific suppliers and facilities. Initiates automated multi-lingual data collection campaigns.
Emission Calculation & Validation. Computes direct and indirect emissions using EU methodology. Validates supplier data against regional benchmarks; flags anomalies like zero-emission claims from coal plants.
XML Report Generation. Structures validated data into mandatory XML schema. Maps CN Code, Country of Origin, Specific Embedded Emissions, and Carbon Price Paid to correct XML tags.
Audit Trail & Submission. Generates "Evidence Pack" with supplier communications, energy bills, and calculation methodology. Creates timestamped audit trail proving "reasonable care."

Core Capabilities

Embedded Emissions Calculation

Calculates specific direct and indirect carbon emissions per product batch to ensure accurate reporting and minimize tax liability.

Automated Supplier Outreach

Manages multi-lingual data collection campaigns to gather energy usage and production data from Tier 1-3 suppliers.

XML Report Generation

Automatically formats validated emissions data into the strict XML schema required for the EU CBAM Transitional Registry.

Carbon Price Verification

Validates carbon prices already paid in the country of origin to support deduction claims and prevent double taxation.

Who It's For

Steel & Aluminum Importers

Deploy the CBAM Reporter to track emissions for thousands of metal shipments. The agent replaces default values with actual supplier data, significantly reducing future carbon tax exposure and ensuring uninterrupted access to EU manufacturing clients.

Automotive Manufacturers

Use the worker to manage the carbon data for complex supply chains involving fasteners, screws, and raw materials. The agent aggregates data from hundreds of component suppliers to generate a consolidated, compliant CBAM declaration.

Energy & Fertilizer Traders

Implement the agent to calculate indirect emissions for hydrogen and fertilizer imports. It integrates with grid emission factor databases to accurately report the carbon intensity of electricity used in production, preventing regulatory penalties.

Value Outcomes

Reduced Reporting Labor

80% less manual labor

Slash the manual effort required for quarterly filings. AI automation reduces the time spent on data collection and report preparation by **80%**, freeing staff for strategic tasks.

Penalty Avoidance

100% penalty avoidance

Eliminate the risk of non-compliance fines. By ensuring 100% reporting coverage and accuracy, the agent protects against penalties of **€10-€50 per tonne** of unreported emissions.

Tax Liability Optimization

Optimized tax liability

Lower future carbon costs by using actual data. Replacing punitive default values with actual supplier emission data can significantly reduce the calculated tax burden.

Supply Chain Visibility

Tier-3 visibility

Gain deep insights into supplier sustainability. The data collection process maps the carbon intensity of the entire supply chain, identifying risks and opportunities for decarbonization.

Strategic Value for Decision Makers

For the CFO

**Liability Control & Cost Reduction.** CBAM is not just paperwork; it is a future tax liability. The CBAM Reporter minimizes this liability by securing actual data to prove lower emissions than the default values, directly protecting our margins from inflated carbon taxes.
