A plant isn't compliant until all four duties align.

gateHeavyIndustry forensically seals that an industrial plant has met four checkpoints, carbon border adjustment, emission limits, major-hazard prevention, and sustainability reporting. Support for industrial operators, never a replacement for them.

In one sentence: gateHeavyIndustry checks an industrial plant deterministically against four gates, CBAM, IED emission limits, Seveso III major-hazard prevention, CSRD reporting, and seals the result with a cryptographic signature.

✓ RELEVANT IF...

You produce steel, chemicals, or refined products and need to demonstrate CBAM certificates
You operate a plant that falls under the Industrial Emissions Directive or Seveso III

✕ NOT RELEVANT IF...

You expect a system to perform emissions measurements or issue certificates itself
No industrial plant or border adjustment mechanism is involved

// The problem

Five rulebooks, one plant.

Carbon border adjustment, emission limits, major-hazard prevention, sustainability reporting and, since v1.1.0, environmental crime under EU Directive 2024/1203 are today usually managed separately, with different deadlines and formats. gateHeavyIndustry brings all five together in a sealed run.

// Architecture

Five gates, sequential.

GATE 1

CBAM

Checks certificate coverage for imported, carbon-intensive goods under the CBAM Regulation (EU) 2023/956.

GATE 2

IED / BAT-AEL

Checks emission values against the best-available-techniques associated emission levels under the Industrial Emissions Directive.

GATE 3

Seveso III

Checks the major-accident safety report and hazardous substance quantity thresholds under the Seveso III Directive 2012/18/EU.

GATE 4

CSRD / SBTi

Checks sustainability reporting under CSRD and, where committed, science-based climate targets under the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard.

SUB-GATE 5 · v1.1.0

Environmental Crime (EU Directive 2024/1203)

A T=0 execution lock blocks illegal hazardous-waste shipments and large-scale ecosystem damage before physical batch release, not after.

⚠ national implementation (BT-Drs. 21/6133) not yet in force

// Examples

Two fully fictional example decisions.

All companies, plants, and values on this page are invented and serve only to illustrate the gate logic.

Fully checked steelworks report

gateHeavyIndustry · Gate 1–4

A fictional steelworks demonstrates sufficient CBAM certificates, emission values within the BAT-AEL range, a current safety report, and complete CSRD data.

cbam_certificates_sufficienttrue

emissions_within_bat_aeltrue

INDUSTRY_SEALED

Four rulebooks, one receipt. All four gates passed, receipt sealed.

Emission value above the BAT-AEL range

gateHeavyIndustry · Gate 2

A fictional refinery reports an emission value above the permitted BAT-AEL upper limit.

emissions_within_bat_aelfalse

BLOCK_IED_BAT_AEL_EXCEEDED

Fail-closed. An exceedance blocks regardless of the other three gates.

Multiple deviations, documented rather than blocked

gateHeavyIndustry · Gate 1–4

A fictional plant shows eight aggregated deviations, including an insufficient CBAM emissions certificate, a minor BAT-AEL exceedance, a missing ISO 45001 certificate, and incomplete Scope 3 reporting, none individually dispositive.

aggregated_violations8

HEAVY_INDUSTRY_DELTA_FLAGGED

Documented, not blocked. Aggregated, non-dispositive deviations are forensically sealed and made visible, rather than stopping operations.

Hazardous-waste shipment without a valid permit

gateHeavyIndustry · SUB-GATE 5 · v1.1.0

A fictional heavy-industry operator plans a cross-border hazardous-waste shipment. The permit has expired, a pre-notification to the destination authority is missing.

permit_statusEXPIRED

prenotification_receivedfalse

compliance_attestation.sle_eligibletrue

BLOCK_H5_ENVIRONMENTAL_CRIME_PERMIT_EXPIRED

T=0, not after the fact. The execution lock blocks before physical batch release. No illicit gain arose = €0 disgorgement under §30 OWiG (new), proven via proof_standard = DETERMINISTIC_T0_EXECUTION_LOCK.

// Anchored legal basis

§30(2a) OWiG (new) as a cross-cutting norm.

⚠ BILL — NOT YET IN FORCE

EU Directive 2024/1203 has been adopted at EU level since April 2024. Its national implementation, including §30(2a) OWiG (new), is the government bill BT-Drs. 21/6133 (cabinet approval 29 April 2026, first Bundestag reading 11 June 2026, currently with the committees). No entry-into-force date is confirmed. SUB-GATE 5 prepares plant operators for the foreseeable legal position, but does not replace current legal advice.

Three further verdicts are live alongside BLOCK_H5_ENVIRONMENTAL_CRIME_PERMIT_EXPIRED: BLOCK_H5_ENVIRONMENTAL_CRIME_PERMIT_INVALID, BLOCK_H5_ENVIRONMENTAL_CRIME_NO_PRENOTIFICATION and BLOCK_H5_ENVIRONMENTAL_CRIME_ECOSYSTEM_PERMIT_MISSING. EU Directive 2024/1203 and §30(2a) OWiG (new) are additionally anchored as an algorithm-bound normative reference in gateAgriFood, gateEsgSocial and gateProcurement, rule-version-hash-bound in the algoSig and in the applied_norms field of every audit trail.
