For the Electricity Sector CBAM Solution
Carbonaz provides full CBAM compliance for electricity exported to the EU. Country-based grid emission factors, special cross-border electricity rules and up-to-date IEA data are defined in the system. For Türkiye, the 2025 IEA Projection (0.4500 tCO₂/MWh) comes ready.
Generation Sources
All Electricity Generation Sources
Separate emission calculation for thermal, renewable, nuclear and mixed-source electricity generation. Net export tracking.
Thermal Power Plants
Thermal power plants fueled by coal, natural gas and fuel oil. A different emission factor is applied according to the fuel type. It has a dominant share in the Türkiye grid mix.
Renewable Energy
Generation from wind, hydroelectric and geothermal sources. Direct emission is zero and life cycle emissions are minimal. Verified with a renewable energy guarantee certificate.
Solar Energy
Photovoltaic and concentrated solar power plants. Türkiye's fastest-growing renewable energy source. Generation profiles are tracked hourly.
Cross-Border Electricity
Special CBAM rules are applied for electricity exported to the EU. Net export calculation, country-based grid emission factor and hourly data tracking are required.
Calculation Accuracy
Country-Based Grid Emission Factors
Country-based grid emission factors are defined in the system from up-to-date IEA data. The correct grid mix values for Türkiye and other countries are used automatically.
| Product | Benchmark | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Türkiye Grid (IEA 2025) | 0.4500 tCO₂/MWh | IEA Projection |
IEA data is updated annually, and the system refreshes automatically.
Sector-Specific Capabilities
Designed from Scratch for the Electricity Sector
Türkiye Grid Emission Factor Ready
The IEA 2025 Projection value of 0.4500 tCO₂/MWh is defined in the system. The correct calculation is performed automatically for Turkish producers.
European Countries Grid Emission Factor Database
Up-to-date grid emission factors for Germany, France, Italy, Spain and other EU member states are defined in the system. Critical for cross-border calculations.
Special Cross-Border Electricity Rules
The special rules of the CBAM regulation are applied for electricity exported to the EU. Net export calculation, source country grid mix and timestamp tracking.
Hourly, Daily and Monthly Average Factor
Hourly emission factor calculation is possible for renewable source matching. The EU regulation requires hourly matching for green electricity.
Renewable Energy Guarantee Certificate
Türkiye and EU renewable energy guarantee certificates can be uploaded to the system. Used to verify green electricity generation.
Hydroelectric, Wind and Solar Breakdown
A distinction is made between renewable sources. Hourly generation profiles for wind and solar, seasonal distribution tracking for hydroelectric.
Thermal Power Plant Fuel Mix Calculation
Separate emission factors for different fuels such as coal, natural gas, fuel oil and lignite. Weighted average calculation according to fuel mix ratios.
FAA Benchmark Does Not Apply to Electricity
The free allocation (FAA) benchmark does not apply to electricity; the entire embedded emission is subject to the CBAM obligation. The calculation is based on the country-based grid emission factor.
CN Code 2716.00.00 (Electrical Energy)
CN code 2716.00.00 for electrical energy is defined in the system. The correct code is used automatically in EU Registry XML reporting.
Automatic IEA Data Update
IEA data is updated annually. The Carbonaz team updates the system automatically when new data is published, and customer use continues uninterrupted.
Accurate Annual Mark-up Penalty Rate
+10% in 2026, +20% in 2027, +30% in 2028 and beyond are correctly coded. A future cost projection is made with year-based simulation.
Native-Language Interface and Support
Your team works in their own language. The interface, terms, documentation and support are available in multiple languages.
CBAM Factor Phase-In Schedule
From 2026 to 2034: Cost Projection
The CBAM factor rises year over year, reaching a full 100% in 2034. Carbonaz supports every transition year and shows your future cost today with the mark-up simulator.
| Year | CBAM Factor | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 0.025 | 2.5% of the gross cost is paid |
| 2027 | 0.050 | 5% |
| 2028 | 0.100 | 10% |
| 2029 | 0.225 | 22.5% |
| 2030 | 0.485 | 48.5% |
| 2031 | 0.610 | 61% |
| 2032 | 0.735 | 73.5% |
| 2033 | 0.860 | 86% |
| 2034 | 1.000 | 100% (full CBAM) |
