How carbon is priced in Croatia

No national carbon tax — EU ETS only.

Largest CBAM-sector emitters in Croatia

At the EU ETS price of €80.01/t, this CO2 corresponds to an indicative carbon value of:

Facility	t CO2/yr (est. 2023)	Gross value (full)
Sv Juraj Cement Plant	954,062	€71.9M
Nasice Cement Plant	282,314	€21.3M
Sv Kajo Cement Plant	178,049	€13.4M
Kutina Fertilizers Complex	176,220	€13.3M
Koromacno Cement Plant	116,746	€8.8M

Gross value = all tracked CO2 × the carbon price; it is a ranking aid, not a liability. Emissions: Climate TRACE satellite estimates (2023) — indicative, not verified declarations. CBAM falls only on emissions embedded in EU-bound exports, at the phased-in share (2.5% in 2026 → 100% by 2034). More: IndustryAtlas.

CBAM-exposed industries

Pathways for the sectors that pay at the border

Aluminium

≈1.6 t CO2/t direct + power — the Gulf's flagship CBAM exposure.

Steel

1.9 t/t integrated — route choice decides the CBAM bill.

Cement

0.7 t/t, two-thirds process CO2.

Fertilizers

≈2 t CO2/t NH3 — hydrogen chemistry.

Hydrogen

9–11 t/t grey — CBAM from day one.

Cut the bill at the source: heat-loss elimination via removable insulation typically saves 2–5% of fuel-related CO2 with <2-year payback — run the savings study or read the industrial insulation guide.
