Can carbon capture and use (CCU) / carbon capture and storage (CCS) be used to offset emissions to determine embedded emissions?
Yes, carbon capture and use/storage (CCUS) can be utilized to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to determine embedded emissions in CBAM goods, subject to specific criteria outlined in Annex III, Section B.8.2 of the Implementing Regulation. These conditions typically ensure that the captured carbon dioxide is either permanently chemically bound in products or transferred to a long-term geological storage site.
Dubrink’s CBAM compliance software incorporates these criteria, providing comprehensive guidance on how CCU/CCS techniques can effectively offset emissions and meet regulatory requirements.
