What Is CBAM?

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a system through which the EU imposes carbon costs on products imported from countries with weaker carbon emission regulations. With full implementation in 2026, export manufacturers must respond urgently.

Target Industries

  • Steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, electricity, hydrogen
  • Carbon Management in Smart Factories

    1. Energy Monitoring

    Measure equipment-level power consumption in real time with IoT sensors and automatically calculate per-process carbon emissions.

    2. Carbon Footprint Tracking

    Build a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) system that tracks carbon emissions throughout the entire process from raw material input to finished goods shipment.

    3. Energy Optimization

    Use an AI-based energy management system to eliminate wasted power during non-operating hours and distribute peak power loads.

    Implementation Results

    Results from manufacturers that deployed a carbon management system:

  • Energy costs reduced by 18%
  • Carbon emissions reduced by 25%
  • CBAM certificate costs saved by hundreds of millions of won annually
  • Improved ESG ratings, increasing corporate value
  • Conclusion

    CBAM compliance is not a cost but an opportunity to gain competitiveness. Build your carbon management framework with POLYGLOTSOFT's IoT Gateway and data analytics platform.
