The division of sites into different installations is possible. The division of installations into separate production processes is even obligatory where different production routes exist within one installation.

Moreover, dividing installations is in particular useful for more detailed, more transparent monitoring. For example, it may be useful to consider the coke ovens and a lime production as separate installations, as they would not count to the embedded emissions of the steel produced.

According to the monitoring rules of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1773, a division of installations should not lead to different results of the final embedded emissions of steel products, as precursors are taken fully into account by the CBAM methodology.
