National Coefficients for Accurate Calculations
With the implementation of national coefficients, Ukrainian exporters will be able to use real energy data from the country instead of relying on international average indicators. This will allow for a more accurate calculation of the carbon footprint of exported products and minimize the financial costs for businesses related to carbon payments, especially under the Border Carbon Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
Efficiency and Compliance with European Requirements
The coefficients approved by the government will serve as the basis for accounting for greenhouse gas emission reductions during the implementation of energy efficiency measures in buildings, in accordance with the Law of Ukraine on “Energy Efficiency of Buildings.” The calculations were carried out according to the Methodology approved by the order of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine on May 9, 2025, No. 938.
“The adopted decision is an important step towards enhancing the competitiveness of Ukrainian products in international markets and further integrating Ukraine into European climate policy,” the ministry noted.
