Summary

Mao helped the Kingfisher's sustainability to collect data for the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) reporting work.

Goals

The objective is to fulfill legal obligations under the CBAM by accurately calculating and reporting carbon emissions of goods within the CBAM scope.

Solutions

Utilizing templates provided by the European Union (EU), the team guided vendors through collecting comprehensive data on production, electricity consumption, and precursor emissions. Recognizing that vendors often encountered template usage difficulties, language barriers, and challenges stemming from small order volumes that escalated costs through reliance on third-party services, the fellow helped to build up training courses to overcome these obstacles.

Potential Impact

If implemented effectively, the fellow's recommendation could significantly enhance stakeholders' ability to adapt to the CBAM framework. By fostering collaboration, providing training, and implementing continuous monitoring, it would alleviate the burden of carbon emission calculations and regulations, ultimately facilitating smoother transitions towards more sustainable practices.
