Metallurgy Sector CimpactPro Solutions for the Industry

How do you manage sustainability in the metallurgy industry on a single platform?

Steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metal production is one of the most energy-intensive sectors with high carbon emissions and strictly controlled by global regulations. In the new era that started with the European Union's Border Carbon Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), all exporting metallurgical enterprises will not be able to trade without carbon declaration and verification. With CORP and CBAM software, CimpactPro enables metal producers to achieve both regulatory compliance and competitive advantage. It makes all processes from emission measurement to CBAM declaration files standard-compliant, automated and verifiable.

What are the sustainability needs of the metallurgy industry?

The main need in this sector is the complete and accurate measurement of direct emissions (fuel, process, furnace, chemical reactions) and indirect emissions (electricity, logistics, raw material supply) from production processes.

• CO₂, N₂O and PFC emissions from processes such as furnace, rolling mill, electrolysis and smelting need to be monitored separately.
• Raw material sourced data (ore, limestone, bauxite, etc.) should be integrated.
• Carbon intensity per unit product (tCO₂/t) associated with production capacity, fuel type and energy consumption should be converted into a performance indicator.

CimpactPro manages this complex data flow with a centralized data model and generates ISO 14064-1 and GHG Protocol compliant reports.

Prominent international requirements in the metallurgical sector

• The EU CBAM Regulation (2023/956) covers the steel, aluminum, iron, fertilizer, cement, hydrogen and electricity sectors. by 2026, every company exporting to the EU in these sectors must submit a CBAM Declaration.
• Organizations such as Worldsteel, IAI (International Aluminum Institute) and IEA (International Energy Agency) publish annual reports monitoring the carbon intensity of the sector.
• Platforms such as the OECD, UNFCCC and the Carbon Border Adjustment Taskforce closely monitor the carbon costs of metals sectors.

Due to these audit mechanisms, producers who do not digitalize their carbon management face both export costs and financing risks.

Why should the metallurgy sector work on sustainability?

• Export sustainability: Producers without a CBAM declaration cannot access the EU market.
• Competitive advantage: Plants with proven low carbon intensity gain higher export share.
• Investor confidence: Metal producers that meet ESG criteria have easier access to green financing funds.
• Operational efficiency: Energy and raw material optimization reduces production costs.

In short, sustainability is not only an ethical requirement in this sector, but also a guarantee of business continuity.

What are the risks facing the metallurgy sector?

• Data not reported during the CBAM transition period (2024-2026) may be penalized with a high carbon tax in 2026.
• Unverified data or missing emission factors could lead to rejection of the EU Importer Declaration.
• unmetered plants are excluded from "green steel" and "low carbon aluminum" certification processes.
• High carbon intensities are classified as "high risk" by credit institutions and ESG rating agencies.

CimpactPro minimizes these risks with data integrity, verification guarantee and automated reporting structure.

How does CimpactPro solve these challenges in the Metallurgical sector?

• CimpactPro CORP
  • Monitors fuel, process, furnace, electricity and chemical emissions on a plant-by-plant basis.
  • Calculates with factors from IPCC, DEFRA and Ecoinvent databases.
  • Fully complies with ISO 14064-1, GHG Protocol and TSE standards.
  • It produces a "carbon intensity (tCO₂e/t)" output for each product line.
• CimpactPro CBAM
  • Automatically generates declaration file (XML/CSV) in EU CBAM format.
  • Matches HS code, production process and importer relationships in the system.
  • Validates scope 1-2 data for exporters in accordance with EU declaration requirements.
  • Declaration time, verification status and EU portal integration are monitored on a single screen.
• Reporting advantage
  • Output formats suitable for ISO, EPD and LCA reporting.
  • Emission reduction scenarios and efficiency analysis (energy, furnace, raw material) are automatically generated.
  • The AI-powered validation module notifies the user of missing or incorrect data.
