An 8-hour practitioner course for US manufacturers and exporters who supply iron, steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, or hydrogen to EU customers. Covers the definitive CBAM regime from 1 January 2026: product screening against CN codes, installation boundaries, embedded-emissions calculation (simple and complex goods), actual vs default values, verification requirements, customer data communication, and annual compliance readiness.

What You'll Learn
- Explain the purpose, legal basis, and operational structure of the EU CBAM definitive regime and why it creates data obligations for US producers
- Screen products against CBAM-covered sectors and CN codes to determine whether exports to the EU are within scope
- Distinguish the legal obligations of the EU authorised CBAM declarant from the practical data responsibilities of a non-EU/US installation operator
- Define installation boundaries and identify direct and applicable indirect emission sources for a US production facility
- Calculate specific embedded emissions for simple and complex goods using actual emissions data, with correct units, factors, and assumptions
- Evaluate when default values apply, their financial consequences, and how actual-emissions reporting reduces CBAM certificate costs
- Prepare data communications to EU customers using structured templates addressing verification, precursor, and carbon-price information requirements
- Design an internal annual CBAM data-readiness process covering governance, data collection, verification, and customer communication
