Question

Can I avoid CBAM by using default values?

Answer

No — defaults are the fallback when you don't report verified data, and they are set conservatively per country. Reporting your real (usually lower) embedded emissions is normally the cheapest compliance route.

Hot industrial equipment? Cut the heat loss.

Boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and steam lines lose energy continuously. Inzonex makes patented (UK GB2508992.1) removable modular insulation — snap-fastened covers engineered per temperature tier, not generic off-the-shelf jackets:

  • Up to 90% less heat loss from insulated surfaces
  • Surface temperature ≤45 °C — touch-safe for workers (EN ISO 13732-1)
  • 6× faster maintenance access than fixed cut-and-weld lagging — unclips and refits in minutes, no destruction
  • Inspectable — comes off to check for corrosion under insulation, then refits like-new (generic jackets often don't survive removal)
  • Typical payback under 2 years (some 9–11 months)
