- The CBAM methodology follows the same rules as the EU ETS.
- If biomass is used as a process input (e.g. where charcoal is used as a reducing agent in a blast furnace or for producing electrodes), emissions from the biomass use are not accounted for (‘zero-rating’).
- If biomass (solid, liquid or gaseous) is used as a fuel (i.e. for energy purposes), emissions are accounted for unless the biomass fulfils the relevant sustainability and greenhouse gas savings criteria of the Renewable Energy Directive (EU) 2018/2001. The applicable criteria depend on the type of biomass used.
