This report presents the verified greenhouse gas inventory for Metro Factor Textile covering the period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. Total facility emissions are 280,132 kgCO₂e (280.1 tCO₂e), with Scope 1 direct combustion at 27.1%, Scope 2 purchased electricity at 13.6%, and Scope 3 value-chain at 59.3%. The reported Operational Carbon Intensity (OCI) of 5.60 kgCO₂e/kg positions this facility significantly above regional and global benchmarks, representing a material EU export revenue risk as carbon border pricing escalates.

⚠ CBAM Margin Erosion Alert

At €65/tonne, CBAM liability represents 3.6% of EU export revenue. Under the CVaR 99% stress scenario (€76/tonne), this rises to 4.2% — a level that eliminates operating margin on EU-destined goods for most mid-scale textile facilities. Proactive OCI reduction is the only commercially viable response.

Top 3 Prioritised Actions

#	Action	Annual Saving	CBAM Saving	Payback
1	Steam system optimisation — boiler condensate return & trap survey Targets Scope 1 gas combustion (47,500 kgCO₂e). 8–12% reduction = 4.5–7.0 tCO₂e/year.	USD 4,320	€390/yr	12–18 mo
2	Rooftop solar PV expansion to 30% electricity coverage Eliminates 11.4 tCO₂e Scope 2 annually. Capex approx. USD 120,000.	USD 6,100	€741/yr	4–5 yr
3	LED high-bay retrofit + VFD motor controls 15–20% electricity reduction = 5.7–7.6 tCO₂e/year. Capex USD 18,000.	USD 2,940	€371/yr	7–8 yr
Combined 3-Year Impact		USD 13,360	€1,502/yr	2–3 yr avg

Key Findings

01

Scope 2 electricity is the fastest-return reduction target. Installing solar (30% offset) reduces Scope 2 by 11.4 tCO₂e/year, saving USD 6,100/year with a 4.5-year payback — the single highest NPV investment in the roadmap.

02

Direct combustion (Scope 1) at 27% of total. Natural gas (boilers) drives 63% of Scope 1. Condensate recovery alone reduces gas consumption 8–12%, delivering USD 4,320/year in fuel savings and reducing EU carbon exposure.

03

OCI of 5.60 kgCO₂e/kg is above the textile Good Performer threshold (1.5 kgCO₂e/kg). Closing this gap would reduce annual CBAM exposure by EUR 11,600/year and qualify this facility for H&M, Inditex, and PVH preferred-tier supplier programmes.

Via condensate recovery (Phase 1)

Total Scope 1 emissions for the reporting period were 75,900 kgCO₂e (75.9 tCO₂e), representing 27.1% of total facility emissions. The dominant source is natural gas combustion for boiler steam generation (47,500 kgCO₂e, 63% of Scope 1), consistent with the process-heat intensity of textile dyeing and finishing operations. Diesel contributions reflect standby generation during grid load-shedding periods, a structural feature of the regional electricity supply environment.

Reduction Opportunity — Steam System Optimisation

Steam trap survey and condensate return system targeting the boiler gas circuit: reduces boiler fuel consumption 8–12%, saving 6.1–9.1 tCO₂e/year, with estimated annual fuel cost saving of USD 4,320. Capital cost: USD 30,000–35,000. Payback period: 12–14 months. Priority intervention for Phase 1 of the decarbonisation roadmap.

OCI Benchmark Analysis

Carbon Intensity vs Peer Benchmarks

Operational Carbon Intensity (OCI) — defined as (Scope 1 + Scope 2) ÷ production output — stands at 5.60 kgCO₂e/kg for the 2025 reporting period. OCI enables year-on-year performance tracking and peer benchmarking independent of production scale changes. This facility's OCI is significantly above all reference benchmarks, representing the primary commercial driver for the decarbonisation roadmap.
