The relationship between the global mining industry and digital infrastructure has moved far beyond experimentation. In today’s resource economy, data centers are no longer back-office IT facilities—they are core industrial assets embedded directly within mining, energy, and logistics systems. As mining operations electrify, decarbonize, and automate—while producing essential materials such as copper, nickel, and lithium—digital...
In modern data-center development, Operations and Maintenance outcomes are no longer determined after commissioning. They are largely locked in during the Front-End Design (FED) phase. As data centers evolve into power-anchored infrastructure assets with multi-decade lifecycles, FED has become the decisive control layer that shapes operational resilience, energy economics, regulatory flexibility, and long-term capital efficiency....
Within CBAM system engineering, electricity supply pre-verification is the most technically sensitive layer, because it is where CBAM compliance most frequently fails under formal EU verification. CBAM.Engineer treats electricity not as a contractual commodity but as a regulated physical input whose provenance, delivery, and temporal alignment must be defensible under audit. The objective of electricity...

The European Commission’s finalization of the implementing package for the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism marks a structural shift in the way carbon costs will be calculated, allocated, and ultimately mitigated for goods imported into the European Union. As of 1 January 2026, CBAM moves from a transitional reporting regime into its definitive financial phase, transforming...
In Serbia, viable renewable siting begins with transmission reality, not resource theory. EMS operates a compact, highly loaded system whose flexibility margin is constrained by cross-border flows, legacy thermal dispatch, and limited internal redundancy. As a result, grid-node screening must precede land acquisition, environmental scoping, and even preliminary yield assessment. The first-order filter is substation hierarchy. Projects...
The European Commission’s proposal to revise how emissions are calculated for imported electricity under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism represents one of the most consequential regulatory shifts yet for non-EU power exporters. For Serbia, whose electricity system sits at the intersection of coal legacy, large hydro assets and emerging renewables, the change fundamentally alters how...
The application of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism to electricity imports from South-East Europe introduces a quantifiable financial and structural risk to the region’s power sector precisely at the point when large-scale capital deployment is required for decarbonisation and grid integration. In Serbia, electricity is not only a domestic utility service but a traded commodity...
Independent technical preparation supporting EU-accredited verifiers, EU importers, and non-EU exporters is becoming a defining enabler of CBAM compliance in the energy and power-intensive sectors. As CBAM progresses from transitional reporting into a regime with direct financial and customs consequences, electricity generation, grid-connected industry, and energy-intensive manufacturing are emerging as the areas where technical readiness...
