Common Compliance Questions

Answers to frequently asked questions about carbon regulations

What is the difference between Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions?

▼
Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy. Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions in your value chain, such as business travel, purchased goods, and product use.

Does CBAM apply to all industries?

▼
Currently, CBAM covers specific sectors including cement, iron and steel, aluminum, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen. The EU plans to expand coverage to additional sectors in the future.

How often do I need to report for CDP?

▼
CDP disclosure is typically annual. Organizations receive questionnaires in early spring and have until summer to submit their responses covering the previous calendar year's data.

What happens if I miss a compliance deadline?

▼
Penalties vary by regulation and jurisdiction. For CBAM, late or incomplete reporting may result in fines and carbon taxes, penalties can include financial charges and interest. Our platform includes deadline tracking to help you avoid these issues.

Can Carbon Protocols help with multiple regulations simultaneously?

▼
Yes! Our platform is designed to manage compliance across multiple regulations at once. Enter your data once, and generate reports for CBAM, CDP, GHG Protocol, and carbon tax requirements from the same dataset.

Do I need third-party verification for my emissions data?

▼
It depends on the regulation. CBAM requires accredited verification for certain reporting elements starting in 2026. CDP doesn't mandate verification but it can improve your score. Many carbon tax jurisdictions require third-party verification above certain emission thresholds.
