Core features
Everything you need for CBAM compliance
Six integrated modules that cover the entire compliance workflow — from your factory floor to the EU registry.
Data Collection
Collect production data through multiple channels. Upload CSV or Excel files, enter data manually through structured forms, or connect via API to your country's utility provider — STEG in Tunisia, ONEE in Morocco, or Sonelgaz in Algeria. The system validates incoming data and flags anomalies before they affect your calculations.
Emissions Calculator
Calculate Scope 1 (direct process emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased electricity) using Maghreb-specific emission factors — typically 20–30% lower than EU default values, directly reducing your CBAM certificate costs. Covers all six CBAM product categories: cement, aluminum, iron & steel, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen.
CBAM Report Generator
Generate EU-compliant CBAM declarations in the official XML format required by the EU CBAM registry. Every required field is populated automatically: embedded emissions per product, production methodology, emission factor sources, and verifier information. Export as XML for direct registry submission, or as PDF in English, French, or Arabic for internal records.
Dashboard & Analytics
Monitor your CBAM exposure in real time. The dashboard shows total emissions by product line, CBAM cost forecasts based on live EU ETS carbon prices, compliance status, and historical trends by quarter. Run scenario planning models to understand how changes in production volumes or energy mix affect your CBAM certificate costs.
Verification Network
Access our pre-vetted network of EU-accredited verifiers with existing Maghreb operations. virESG has established partnerships with SGS, Bureau Veritas, and RINA — all based in-region, not traveling from Europe. This translates to 40–50% lower verification costs compared to flying European auditors to North Africa, while maintaining full EU accreditation standards.
One-Click Compliance
The entire CBAM workflow is automated end to end: data collection feeds into emissions calculation, which generates the CBAM report, which is submitted to the EU registry. Quarterly reporting deadlines are tracked automatically with advance alerts. Submission preparation is handled by the system — you review and approve, we handle the rest.

FAQ
Platform questions answered
Production volumes, energy bills (electricity, gas, fuel), and material inputs for your CBAM-covered products. If you have these in spreadsheets, you can upload them directly. The platform walks you through a structured onboarding checklist so nothing is missed. For most exporters, the data they already have on file is sufficient to get started.
Yes. API integration is optional. You can manually enter energy data or upload utility bills as CSV or Excel files. The system guides you through the process with clear field-by-field instructions. Many customers start with manual entry and add API integrations later once they see the time savings they offer.
EU default values assume the worst case for your country and sector — essentially penalizing you for not providing real data. Actual calculations using real production data and Maghreb-specific grid emission factors (which reflect North Africa's predominantly natural gas electricity generation) typically show 20–30% lower embedded emissions. This directly reduces the number of CBAM certificates you must purchase, saving thousands of euros per year.
Yes. Our export format follows the exact schema specified in EU CBAM implementing regulation and is validated against the official EU CBAM registry XSD schema before export. Files are checked for completeness and format compliance before you download them, ensuring they will be accepted by the EU registry without errors or rejection.
