Extended Data Fig. 2: Emission profile: Chemicals & feedstocks covered + average fallback – Polyethylene.
From: Embodied emissions of chemicals within the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
Embodied emissions of non-EU ethylene facilities calculated from cradle-to-border greenhouse gas emission data according to the chemicals & feedstocks covered + average fallback design. A perfect CBAM would cover cradle-to-border greenhouse gas emissions exactly. “Self-profiting reporting behavior” assumes that facilities supply baseline data only if it results in lower embodied emissions than the fallback value.
