# Emission3 — CBAM compliance for non-EU exporters > Emission3 is a CBAM (EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) compliance platform > built for manufacturers and exporters *outside* the European Union. We turn your > existing production invoices into the exact file your EU buyer uploads to the > CBAM Registry: an XSD-compliant XML declaration, plus an auditor-ready HTML > report and full evidence trail. > Primary users: steel mills, aluminium fabricators, cement producers, fertiliser > companies, and hydrogen exporters in India, Australia, the United Kingdom, > Turkey, the UAE, and other non-EU countries that ship to European buyers. > For a single-document, LLM-optimised, plain-text summary of every page and > product capability, fetch https://emission3.com/llms-full.txt --- ## What Emission3 does (one paragraph) Emission3 ingests your production invoices (PDFs, scans, or forwarded emails), OCR-extracts line items, HS/HSN codes, quantities, and party details, maps every product to the correct CBAM sector and Climatiq emission factor, calculates actual embedded CO₂e per product line, and exports an EU Registry XSD-compliant CBAM XML declaration together with an auditor-ready HTML report, annotated invoice PDFs, and a good-faith methodology log — in hours, not months. --- ## Who this site is for - **Non-EU manufacturers and exporters** shipping steel, iron, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen, or electricity into the European Union. You are the supplier your EU customer is asking for verified emissions data from. - **Trade advisors, ESG consultants, and CA firms** serving 10–50 clients who all need CBAM compliance. Emission3 is available as a white-label partner product. - **Customs brokers and freight forwarders** who want to add CBAM compliance to their service portfolio without building software. --- ## The regulatory problem in plain English - From **January 2026**, every tonne of steel, aluminium, cement, fertiliser, or hydrogen shipped to the EU creates a CBAM certificate obligation for the EU importer. - The importer must **surrender carbon certificates** backed by verified embedded-emissions data from the exporter. - If the exporter does not provide actuals, the EU applies **default values** set deliberately high to penalise non-compliant suppliers. - The first annual CBAM declaration is due **September 30, 2027**. Third-party verification takes months, so exporters must act in 2026. - If you force your EU buyer onto default values, you become the expensive supplier they replace. --- ## How it works (four steps) 1. **Upload invoices** — PDFs or scans of production invoices. OCR extracts line items, HS/HSN/CN codes, quantities, party details automatically. 2. **HSN → CBAM factor mapping** — each product line is matched to its CBAM sector and a Climatiq emission factor, with actual vs. EU default comparison. 3. **Review** — dashboard shows total embedded CO₂e, sector breakdown, actual-vs-default delta, and estimated CBAM cost exposure for the importer. 4. **Download audit pack** — EU Registry XSD-compliant CBAM XML declaration, auditor-ready HTML report, annotated invoice PDFs with line-item evidence, methodology log, and factor versioning. Share one file with the EU buyer. --- ## Sector coverage - Iron & Steel (CN 72, 73) - Aluminium (CN 76) - Cement (CN 2523) - Fertilisers (CN 2808, 2814, 2834, 3102, 3105) - Hydrogen (CN 2804 10) - Electricity (CN 2716) - Coming 2028 (CBAM phase 2): Machinery, downstream steel products, selected chemicals --- ## Pricing - **Free CBAM Check** — Up to 3 invoices, estimated embedded CO₂e, actual vs. EU-default comparison, no credit card.

Emission3 starts with your existing invoices — no new data entry, no ERP integration. - **Exporter-first.** Competing platforms are built for the EU importer asking for data. Emission3 is built for the non-EU manufacturer who has to respond. - **Production-ready output.** Emission3 generates the actual EU Registry XSD-compliant XML file and auditor HTML report — not a summary PDF, not a dashboard screenshot. --- ## Trust signals - Powered by the Climatiq emission factor database. - EU Registry XSD-compliant CBAM XML output. - ISO-aligned calculation methodology. - Deterministic data lineage from each invoice line item to its CO₂e value. - Every emission factor is source-linked, versioned, and auditor-verifiable. --- ## Core pages - [Home](https://emission3.com/) — Exporter-first landing page with product overview. - [Try Free](https://emission3.com/try) — Free CBAM exposure report.
