Sound familiar?
I don't know what a carbon number even is, let alone how to calculate one. No in-house tooling, no carbon-accounting background — and the deadline arrived in an email, not a plan.
The consultant wants nearly ₹2 lakh and won't tell me why. No published price, no clear scope, a retainer nobody budgeted for.
If I don't answer, they use the default number — and it costs me the order. The Commission's default is marked up on purpose. Silence has a price, and it's not zero.

How it works
Fuel, electricity and output for the period. Standard method or mass balance for an integrated works. Every figure keeps the formula that produced it.
Mandatory, and the Commission publishes no template. Answer what only you know and the plan writes itself, with every missing element named.
Plan, figures, sources, calculation trail and every gap declared up front — the file an accredited verifier audits and your buyer files.
Where we stand apart
Under TRACE, up to 95% of an MSME's compliance spend comes back — but only if the Intent-to-Claim is filed before purchase. We show the net price and sequence the filing inside the product, so the deadline that forfeits the whole reimbursement never sneaks past you.
Mandatory under IR (EU) 2025/2547, and the Commission publishes no template. We generate the document your verifier starts from, with every missing element named.
Two reference plants — scrap EAF and integrated BF-BOF by mass balance — worked by hand, published and recomputed live on this site. Check us in five minutes.
What we are not
Verdex does not certify anyone's emissions.
Under CBAM, actual emissions count only once a verifier accredited by an EU or EEA national accreditation body has signed them. We prepare the evidence that verifier audits, and we say so on every page. Anyone promising you a certificate the EU accepts directly is selling you something that does not exist.
Before you trust a single number: every field we collect and the rule behind it, and two reference plants worked by hand so you can check the arithmetic yourself.
Before you ask
No. Only an accredited verifier's sign-off counts. Verdex prepares the calculation, evidence and monitoring plan; your verifier audits and signs it, and your buyer's declarant files it. Anyone claiming otherwise is selling something that doesn't exist.
Your figures stay tied to your organisation and are only shared with the buyers and verifier you choose to share them with. We don't sell or share compliance data with third parties.
You can still file with a declared gap and an estimated figure — CBAM expects gaps disclosed, not hidden. A confirmed supplier figure is stronger evidence, so we keep chasing on your behalf, but a non-response doesn't block you.
No — eligibility and disbursement are DGFT's decision, not ours. We compute the estimate and prompt the filing sequence, but we don't file on your behalf and can't guarantee the outcome.
The data has to come from a period that has already started. Suppliers take months to answer.
