Default values by country of production for the steel, aluminium and ferro-alloy goods MSE trades, with the structuring and bankability tools that sit around them.

Steel, aluminium, ferro-alloys

Structure, test, price

The same three instruments used on every MSE mandate, applied to a metals cargo, plus the material map behind the battery-metal chain.

Bankability Framework

The eligibility logic a lender applies to a metals trade - knock-out gates, collateral control at each leg, and the six credit pillars - with a verdict and an indicative advance rate.

Annex I reference

Default values by origin

Annex I to the CBAM implementing regulation publishes an embedded-emissions default value for each good and each country of production. On hot-rolled coil the published values run from 0.14 to 8.23 tonnes of CO2e per tonne, against 4.05 for an origin with no row of its own. That spread decides where a cargo can still be bought once the certificate cost is added. Every figure below is read from the annex as published, not modelled.
