Answer

What you need to know

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism prices the embedded CO2 of cement, iron & steel, aluminium, fertilizers, hydrogen and electricity imported into the EU. If you export these to the EU and have no domestic carbon price, your importer buys CBAM certificates at the EU ETS-linked price (€75.28 for Q2 2026) on a rising share of embedded emissions — 2.5% in 2026 to 100% in 2034.

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.
