Isometric's experts help you prepare a monitoring plan and emissions report that's ready for verification.
Ready for CBAM brings together Isometric's carbon accounting experts and AI agents to turn raw production data into a monitoring plan and emissions report that's ready for verification. It runs on the same platform behind more than 200 carbon removal and reduction projects.

Upload
Your production data goes into one secure platform.
Prepare
Build your plan and report with our experts.
Check
AI and our experts match each figure to its evidence.
Submit
Your plan and report go to your verifier, ready for review.
Isometric's carbon accounting experts build your monitoring plan and emissions report with you, rather than handing back a list of gaps to fix.
AI agents check the data points as they're uploaded, so problems are caught long before the verifier sees your report.
Each figure in your report is stored with the source data behind it, so the verifier can review your submission with less back and forth.
Cement
“CBAM means proving the embodied emissions of every tonne of cement we sell into the EU. Isometric’s platform and team of experts made what would have been a demanding process fast and simple.”
Iron and steel
“Steel Dynamics is one of the largest producers of lower-embodied-carbon steel in North America. We appreciate Isometric’s rigorous approach and the structure they bring to helping markets recognize the environmental value of real, measurable and durable decarbonization projects like those we are advancing at Steel Dynamics.”

Non-EU producers of cement, iron and steel, aluminum, fertilizers, hydrogen and electricity whose goods are imported into the EU. From the 2026 reporting year, EU importers can only use a producer's actual emissions if they have been checked by an accredited verifier. Otherwise, they must use the EU's default values.
A monitoring plan sets out how a facility measures and calculates the embedded emissions of the goods it produces, including its data sources, calculation methods and emission factors. Your verifier checks your emissions report against it, so it needs to be in place before verification.
An emissions report sets out the embedded emissions of the goods a facility produced during the year, calculated using the methods in its monitoring plan. Once your verifier has checked it, you share it with your EU customers so they can declare your actual emissions rather than default values.
Your EU customers must declare your goods using the EU's default values. These are based on your country's average emissions plus a markup, which reaches 30% from 2028 for most goods. Your customers then pay for those higher emissions, which can make your products more expensive than those of exporters who have verified their emissions.
Each year's emissions are verified once that year is complete, in time for importers to file their declarations by September 30 the following year. The first declarations, covering 2026 imports, are due September 30, 2027.
No, your emissions are verified by an accredited verifier you appoint. Isometric helps you prepare your submission and supports you through the audit, but takes no part in the verifier's decision.
Yes. Whether you're yet to start, part way through a pre-verification or have already completed one, Isometric's experts pick up from where you are and help you get your monitoring plan and emissions report ready for verification.
Yes. Isometric's experts can work with you to resolve findings during verification, whether or not they helped you prepare your submission.
Yes. When the exporters you buy from have verified emissions, you can declare the actual embedded emissions of their goods rather than default values. Get in touch to introduce us to your exporters, and Isometric's team will help them prepare for verification.
