Question 1

What are direct vs indirect embedded emissions?

Accepted Answer

Direct emissions come from the production process itself. Indirect emissions come from the electricity consumed during production, based on the grid emission factor of the country of origin.

Question 2

Why don't all CN codes show a direct/indirect split?

Accepted Answer

Not every CN code has a published breakdown — some only have a combined total default value. Where a split exists, it's shown here; otherwise only the total is available.

Question 3

Is this figure before or after the Art.7(3) markup?

Accepted Answer

Both are shown — the base default value, and the value with the year-specific markup applied, so you can see the effect clearly.
