Question

What is CBAM and does it apply to me?

Answer

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism prices the embedded CO2 of cement, iron & steel, aluminium, fertilizers, hydrogen and electricity imported into the EU. If you export these to the EU and have no domestic carbon price, your importer buys CBAM certificates at the EU ETS-linked price (€75.36 in Q1 2026) on a rising share of embedded emissions — 2.5% in 2026 → 100% in 2034.
