Problem

With the EU CBAM transition period (2026 onwards), SMEs exporting steel, aluminum, cement, and fertilizers must calculate and report product-specific embedded carbon, but they lack knowledge of applying emission factors per process, leading to outsourcing costs of 2–5 million KRW (approx. $1,500–$3,750) per case to customs brokers. There is also risk of additional assessments if reports are incorrect.

Solution

Input manufacturing process flow (templates provided) and raw material/energy consumption → automatically applies EU default values and country-specific emission factors to calculate embedded carbon per product. Automatically generates CBAM report (XML), quarterly submission reminders, and year-over-year carbon cost change simulation.

Target: Trade and customs staff at EU-exporting SMEs (steel, aluminum, chemicals) + small and medium customs brokerage firms

Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription — 50,000 KRW (approx. $37.50) per month for 5 quarterly reports, API Per Transaction 100 KRW (approx. $0.08) for bulk integration by customs brokers
