Navigate CBAM with confidence and achieve your Sustainability Goals

Simplifying compliance, reducing emissions, and leading the path to a sustainable future

What is CBAM, and why does it matter?

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a groundbreaking EU policy designed to prevent carbon leakage and promote decarbonization.

It ensures that imported goods comply with environmental standards, leveling the playing field for businesses committed to sustainability

Key Phases of CBAM Implementation

Understanding the timeline and compliance requirements for CBAM

Transitional Phase

~8–18 tonnes CO₂ per tonne.

Cement

Carbon emissions:
~1.0 tonnes CO₂ per tonne.

Electricity

~820 kg CO₂ per MWh for coal-fired power, ~400 kg CO₂ per MWh for natural gas, and close to 0 for renewables like wind and solar.

Fertilizers

Carbon emissions:
~1.8-2.0 tonnes CO₂ per tonne.

Hydrogen

Green hydrogen: ~0 tonnes CO₂ per tonne. Grey hydrogen: ~10 tonnes CO₂ per tonne.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About CBAM

CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is an EU regulation aimed at reducing carbon leakage and encouraging global decarbonization. By requiring importers to account for the embedded carbon in goods entering the EU, CBAM creates a fairer playing field for sustainable businesses.

CBAM applies to businesses importing carbon-intensive goods such as iron, steel, aluminum, fertilizers, hydrogen, electricity, and cement into the EU. These industries are prioritized for their significant environmental impact.

CBAM certificates are permits purchased to cover the CO₂ emissions embedded in imported goods. The number of certificates required depends on the declared emissions of each product.

Non-compliance can result in penalties of up to €100 per tonne of CO₂, as well as additional sanctions imposed by specific EU Member States. Accurate and timely reporting is essential to avoid these fines.
