About the Inzonex Carbon Hub

The Carbon Hub turns official carbon-pricing rules and facility-level emissions into indicative cost figures for industrial operators — every number labelled with its source, date and price type. Published by Inzonex Research.

What this is

Scope

Carbon prices for 50+ jurisdictions (EU ETS, UK ETS, China, California, national taxes), the CBAM border charge on EU-bound goods, the 2026→2034 free-allocation phase-out, and country×industry emitter tables. Figures are indicative analytics for planning — not compliance filings or trading advice.

Methodology

How the numbers are produced

Heat-loss and saving figures follow ASTM C680 / ISO 12241 (the method behind our public calculators). The free-allocation phase-out and CBAM phase-in follow Regulation (EU) 2023/956 and the ETS Directive revision (EU) 2023/959 — a fixed legal schedule, not a forecast. CBAM is applied only to covered goods (iron & steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen, electricity) and only to emissions embedded in EU-bound exports at the phased-in share — never to a facility's total output. Headline "gross value" figures (all CO2 × price) are ranking aids, kept distinct from liability.

Use of these figures

All figures are indicative analytics for planning, derived from the sources above as dated on each page. They are not compliance filings, regulatory submissions, tax or trading advice. Carbon prices move daily; verify against primary sources before any financial or compliance decision. Prices are labelled by type — spot (traded), reference (administratively set) or auction (clearing).

Cut the tonnes at the source

Hot industrial equipment? Cut the heat loss.

Boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and steam lines lose energy continuously. Inzonex makes Inzonex Modular Insulation — snap-fastened modules engineered per temperature tier, not generic off-the-shelf jackets:

  • Up to 96% less heat loss from insulated surfaces
  • Surface temperature ≤45 °C — touch-safe for workers (EN ISO 13732-1)
  • 6× faster maintenance access vs standard insulation jackets and metal cladding/boxes — unclips and refits in minutes, no destruction
  • Inspectable — opens for corrosion-under-insulation checks, then refits like-new (generic jackets often don't survive removal)
  • Typical payback up to 2 years

Every tonne you stop emitting is a tonne you don't have to report: cutting heat loss is a measurable, auditable Scope 1 reduction that flows straight into EU ETS, CBAM and your ESG / CSRD disclosures — not an offset, an actual emission cut.
