A CBAM Solution for CFOs and Finance
The CBAM factor reaches 48.5% in 2030 and 100% in 2034. Carbonaz supports financial planning with the mark-up simulator, Free Allocation Amount (FAA) calculation and year-by-year cost projections.
Typical Scenario
The CFO is responsible for reflecting the CBAM line item in the budget with the right figure, projecting future certificate costs year by year, and correctly calculating the free allocation (FAA) and the third-country carbon price reduction. Carbonaz performs all of these calculations automatically and presents them as a PDF report.
An example of the situations the cfo & finance role frequently encounters in CBAM processes.
Your Scenarios
The Problems You Face, Our Solutions
Problem
You need to present a five-year CBAM cost projection to the board. The regulation is complex, consultants give different figures, and you are uncertain.
Carbonaz Solution
Mark-up simulator + CBAM factor table + FAA calculation. See your net CBAM cost from 2026 to 2034 on a single screen and take it to your presentation via PDF export.
Problem
When preparing the budget, you do not know which figure to use for the CBAM line item. The ETS price is variable, the factor rises year over year, and supplier data is uncertain.
Carbonaz Solution
With the scenario analysis module you can make pessimistic, realistic and optimistic estimates. See separately what you would pay under 50%, 70% and 90% real-data scenarios.
Problem
You want to deduct the carbon tax you pay in Türkiye from CBAM, but you do not fully know the formula, the files are scattered, and the deductible amount is unclear.
Carbonaz Solution
The third-country carbon price reduction module calculates automatically. Upload the tax paid in Türkiye to the system with official documentation, and the reduction is automatically deducted from the CBAM cost.
Problem
You cannot correctly calculate the free allocation (FAA) deduction. The EU ETS benchmark data is missing, the formula is complex, and there is a risk of manual error.
Carbonaz Solution
Carbonaz has the CBAM 2026 benchmark data defined in the system. Values such as hot metal 1.370 and EAF carbon steel 0.072 are ready for all sectors. The FAA calculation is automatic.
Problem
You may be losing your competitive advantage in the EU market. Competing exporters are CBAM-compliant and you are not, but it is hard to show this with figures.
Carbonaz Solution
Trend analysis and sector comparison module. The EU ETS price, mark-up penalty and sector average are compared, showing how far behind or ahead of which competitor you are.
Problem
You need to present the financial return on the CBAM investment to the board. Manual calculations do not look reliable or convincing.
Carbonaz Solution
Penalty savings, operational efficiency and risk reduction items are consolidated into a single return-on-investment report. The figures are transparent, and the source data and formulas are clearly visible in the system.
