Pioneer carbon-taxer since 1991; industry inside EU ETS is exempt from the tax.
Carbon tax ≈€115/t (2025, World Bank State & Trends of Carbon Pricing 2025 / ICAP 2025) — the world's highest, on non-ETS fuels.
At the EU ETS price of €80.01/t, this CO2 corresponds to an indicative carbon value of:
| Facility | Sector | t CO2/yr (est. 2023) | Gross value (full) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSAB Luleå steel plant | 3,570,588 | €269.1M | |
| SSAB Oxelösund steel plant | 2,006,276 | €151.2M | |
| Borealis AB, Stenungsund | 578,847 | €43.6M | |
| Slite Cement Plant | 411,092 | €31.0M | |
| Sundsvall aluminium plant | 285,482 | €21.5M |
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.
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.
Share of industrial emissions EU plants must PAY for (free allocation phased out). Source: Regulation (EU) 2023/956.
