What if I cannot fill out specific requested data within the MS-Excel template and I cannot submit the file?

If you do not know specific information or datapoints from the MS-Excel template, as a first step, please try to find out this information. Either check internally within your company (for example for contact details or factory information) or get in contact with your customer who requested the CBAM information. 

If this was not successful, you can also enter “not available” in fields where no number or ID is requested. In fields where numbers are requested (for example installation ID, electricity consumed or emission factors), please enter “0” if you cannot provide the data. 

These are the most important fields within the template:

  • Column AC “Production Method Description” -> Please choose from drop-down menu
  • Column AT “Specific Direct Embedded Emissions”
  • Column BG “Specific Indirect Embedded Emissions”
  • Column BJ “Total Specific Embedded Emissions – sum”

Please make sure that these columns are filled out.
