About the Inzonex Carbon Hub

The Carbon Hub combines dated carbon-pricing inputs, official rules and facility emissions data for industrial planning. It separates measured, modelled and calculated values.

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.

Legal disclaimer

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).

Who publishes this

The Inzonex Carbon Hub is published by Inzonex Research, the research arm of Inzonex, a manufacturer of modular removable industrial insulation. About Inzonex.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment
Equipment heat loss

Measure exposed hot surfaces

Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.

  • Design target: surface temperature at or below 45 °C, subject to the application and design review
  • Claimed heat-loss reduction: up to 96%, subject to the measured boundary and insulation specification
  • Removable construction for inspection and maintenance access
  • Calculation record available for the selected equipment and operating conditions

Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.
