Solution focus

A focused twin-transition approach for your need and sector: CBAM-exposed exporters, suppliers to CSRD-covered groups, energy-intensive plants and digitalising SMEs. For each, the typical scenario, our approach and the relevant service.

Updated: 13 June 2026 The figures and legal references on this page are based on official/primary sources.

Start from your situation, advance on the right axis

Every organisation begins the twin transition from a different point. For some the trigger is a CBAM obligation waiting at the border; for others a data request from a large EU customer; for others a rising energy bill. The solution focuses below describe the four situations we meet most often: problem → solution → expected outcome. Whichever focus fits you, the method is the same — first measure, then transform, then sustain.

CBAM exporter

Carbon-intensive producers exporting to the EU

Sectors
Iron & steel · Aluminium · Cement · Fertiliser · Electricity · Hydrogen

Problem: You export to the EU and your product is in CBAM scope. Transitional reporting (1 October 2023 – 31 December 2025) is over; the definitive period began on 1 January 2026, so financial obligations based on embedded emissions now apply.
Solution: We measure product-level embedded emissions using the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064/14067, gather your production data into a single source of truth, and make it reportable in the format the digital CBAM registry expects.
Expected outcome: A verifiable, product-level embedded-emissions report and data in the format the CBAM registry expects. You declare your obligation on measurement, not estimates.

Relevant service: Measure + Transform

CSRD supplier

Suppliers to CSRD-covered groups

Typical profile
Producer / supplier selling to a large EU customer

Problem: You may not be directly in CSRD scope, but your large EU customer under the CSRD/ESRS asks you for Scope 1-2-3 data for their report. The 2025 Omnibus pulled scope up to ~1,000 employees/€450M, yet the supply-chain demand continues.
Solution: We generate your carbon and sustainability data automatically in line with ESRS E1, including Scope 1-2-3 and intensity per turnover. Each time a request arrives, the data comes ready from the system rather than by hand.
Expected outcome: ESRS E1-aligned Scope 1-2-3 data that comes ready from the system whenever your customer asks. You keep your position as a preferred supplier in the chain.

Relevant service: Transform + Sustain

Energy-intensive plant

Plants that want to cut energy cost

Typical profile
Production / process plants · high energy intensity

Problem: Your energy cost is rising and you cannot see clearly where it is lost. You cannot manage consumption you do not measure — and the same data gap makes carbon reporting harder.
Solution: We collect field data with meters, sensors and M2M, set up an ISO 50001 energy management system, and optimise with analytics. The IEA reports ISO 50001 can deliver ~11% on average and over 30% in some plants — the result is plant-specific.
Expected outcome: Live metering that shows where energy is lost and an installed ISO 50001 system. Savings are not promised in advance but measured with your data (IEA: ~11% on average).

Relevant service: Measure + Sustain

Digitalising SME

SMEs digitalising their processes

Typical profile
Manufacturing SME · scattered spreadsheets · manual steps

Problem: Your processes rely on spreadsheets and manual steps; data is scattered and reporting is slow. You want to use green and digital support programmes but do not know where to start.
Solution: We digitalise processes and gather data on the Qera backbone as a single source of truth. The output both speeds up your work and prepares the data base that support applications such as KOSGEB Digital Transformation (DDX maturity report) and YDDP expect.
Expected outcome: Data gathered into a single source of truth and quick to report, plus the data base KOSGEB/YDDP applications expect. You leave scattered manual spreadsheets behind.

We don’t promise, we measure

Solution focuses start from concrete situations; but no savings or compliance outcome is promised in advance. The European Environment Agency’s (EEA) clear warning holds: efficiency gains from digitalisation do not, on their own, guarantee absolute resource reduction — because of the rebound effect, proactive governance and explicit targets are required. So every figure is measured with your data; then managed; then sustained. You can find the method on our methodology page and the service axes on our services page.

Frequently asked questions

Which sectors are in CBAM scope and when do charges begin?

CBAM covers iron and steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen exported to the EU (Reg. (EU) 2023/956). During the transitional period (1 October 2023 – 31 December 2025) only quarterly reporting applied; the definitive period began on 1 January 2026, when financial obligations based on embedded emissions started to apply.

My company is not directly subject to the CSRD — are we still affected?

Often, yes. Large EU customers under the CSRD/ESRS ask their suppliers for Scope 1-2-3 data for their own ESRS E1 reports. Although the 2025 Omnibus pulled scope up to roughly 1,000 employees/€450M and added a value-chain cap, SMEs selling to large buyers still face data requests in practice.

In an energy-intensive plant, does measurement really deliver savings?

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), ISO 50001-based energy management systems can deliver about 11% on average, and over 30% in some plants. We first build the metering (meter/sensor/M2M) layer, then run data-driven optimisation; any savings figure is plant-specific and is never promised before it is measured.

We are an SME — is there public support for green and digital transition?

Yes. The KOSGEB SME Digital Transformation Support Programme offers manufacturing SMEs an interest-free repayable loan of TRY 1–20 million (TÜBİTAK TÜSSİDE’s DDX digital-maturity report is one accepted application format). On the green side, the Green Transformation Support Programme (YDDP) supports manufacturers’ green transition. Which support fits depends on your business.

What is the difference between solution focus and services?

A solution focus starts from a typical situation (e.g. “we export within CBAM scope”) and points you to the right service axis. Services describe the method: Measure (data and metering), Transform (process and software), Sustain (compliance and sustainability). The solutions page is “your situation”; the service pages are “how we work”.
