95% conformal prediction interval (global, n=21 calibration): 456,612 – 1,933,720 tCO₂. Restricted to steel-EAF stratum: 865,258 – 1,020,457 tCO₂ (subject to small-n undercoverage).

3 · Source citation for audit-grade Scope 1

Habas 2024 SR p75 (EAF 636377) + p76 (plate 193961) combined

EAF main line only (Çelikhane + Çubuk Haddehanesi). Habaş also operates a plate mill at the same site with separate Scope 1 = 193,961 (2024). If treating as 'Habaş Aliağa total,' add 193,961.

4 · Methodology (iz-1)

iz-1 is a 2-layer browser-resident MLP with WebGPU-accelerated LoRA-shaped weights, trained on TR-MRV-Bench v0 (59 Turkish CBAM-scope facilities; 21 audit-grade Scope 1 labels with operator-PDF citations). Inputs: nameplate capacity, geo-coordinates, sector + steel route one-hot, Climate-TRACE-derived capacity factor and activity, operator-disclosed capacity factor (non-leaky in LODO), and Sentinel-5P NO₂ activity proxy. Evaluation: stratified leave-one-disclosure-out with 5 outer × 3 inner = 15 seeds per held-out facility. Headline: median 87% reduction in log-MAE vs. EU CBAM default; closed-form formula (capacity × route-EF × cf) reaches the same headline within statistical noise. Independent satellite cross-check (Beirle et al. 2023, ESSD): colocated TROPOMI NOx source within 3.1 km, flux 0.344 ± 0.059 kg NOx/s.

5 · Verifier checklist

  1. ☐ Confirm Scope 1 line item in the cited source matches the value above (tCO₂ basis; not CO₂-equivalent if different).
  2. ☐ Verify operator's verification statement (ISO 14064-1 / TSRS / financial audit) attached to the source.
  3. ☐ Cross-check capacity against latest published cement / steel / aluminum / fertilizer association registry.
  4. ☐ If using iz-1 prediction as input to CBAM Article 4(2) actual-emission declaration: the prediction is a model output, not a measurement. Verifier must independently support the underlying activity data.
  5. ☐ Confirm the conformal prediction interval covers the operator's claimed Scope 1.
