Does CBAM apply to all fertilisers?

No -- only nitrogen-based fertilisers under CN headings 2808, 2814, 2834, 3102, 3105 (and selected sub-codes) are in scope. Phosphate-only (3103) and potash-only (3104) fertilisers are out of scope.

Why is ammonia so emissions-heavy?

The Haber-Bosch process consumes natural gas as both feedstock and fuel; producing 1 tonne of ammonia emits ~2 t CO2 in well-run plants and 3+ t CO2 in older coal-based plants (e.g. parts of China).

Do I have to use the EU default values?

No. Defaults are a fallback when verified supplier data is unavailable. From 2026 onward you should request actual emissions data from the producer using the EU CBAM communication template -- this is usually cheaper than using defaults, especially for low-carbon producers.

How is the cost adjusted year-on-year?

Phase-in markups apply: 10% of full certificate cost in 2026, 20% in 2027, 30% in 2028, scaling to 100% by 2034. The full calculator at /calculator applies the correct markup for your chosen year.

What about carbon prices already paid in the origin country?

Article 9 of the CBAM Regulation (EU) 2023/956 lets you deduct verifiable carbon prices paid in the country of origin. AutoCBAM Pro automates this; the free preview ignores it.

Methodology guide -- fertilisers

The fertiliser sector is dominated by ammonia synthesis. Roughly 80% of the embedded emissions in a NPK or urea import trace back to the ammonia feed.

Step 1: identify the ammonia source. Natural-gas-based ammonia (most of Europe, Middle East, Trinidad) emits about 1.6-2.1 t CO2/t NH3. Coal-based ammonia (parts of China, India) emits 3-4 t CO2/t NH3. Renewable / "green" ammonia is approaching zero direct emissions.

Step 2: account for downstream urea / ammonium nitrate steps. Urea synthesis re-fixes some CO2 from the ammonia step (about 0.73 t CO2 per tonne of urea), reducing net emissions. The full calculator handles this; the preview does not.

Step 3: collect verified data. Reg. 2025/2621 requires direct emissions (process + fuel) per tonne of finished fertiliser, plus the ammonia source and any N2O abatement (catalysts in nitric acid plants reduce N2O 10-fold).

Step 4: watch out for blended NPKs. A 20-10-10 NPK is 80% N -> roughly 80% of the CBAM cost falls on the nitrogen fraction. Single-nutrient comparisons are misleading.
