The European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a regulatory tool designed to measure carbon emissions attributed to the production of high-carbon goods imported into the EU, aiming to promote cleaner practices in industrial production across non-EU countries. To this end, the European Commission publishes emission factors providing the necessary metrics for compliance and environmental integrity.

CEDA (Comprehensive Environmental Data Archive) is a spend-based emission factor database with 60,000 factors across 400 industries and 148 countries, used for Scope 3 reporting, LCA analyses, and sustainable procurement, and is maintained by Watershed and available for free as “Open CEDA.”
