Specification & Structural Breakdown

Technical Summary: Validates strictly against Regulation (EU) 2023/956 & 2023/1773. Payloads are parsed in memory and return clean, typed JSON in milliseconds with zero data logged.

Primary aluminum smelting via the Hall-Héroult process consumes an average of 14.5 to 15.5 MWh of electricity per tonne of aluminum. Because of this high electricity intensity, Scope 2 indirect emissions vary drastically depending on the exporter country electricity grid carbon intensity.

Auth header: x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json
Request body:
{

Rules:
- Send the request with a 2-second timeout.
- Parse the standard envelope { success, data, meta: { latency_ms, version } }.
- On failure, read { success: false, error, code } and branch on the code.
- Do not retry 4xx responses; surface the error code to the caller.
- Treat invalid-but-well-formed payloads as HTTP 200 with data.valid === false.

Frequently Asked Questions & Technical Notes

Why are Scope 2 emissions so significant for aluminum under CBAM?

Primary smelting requires ~14.5 MWh/t of electricity, making grid carbon intensity the dominant emission driver.
