What is CBAM?

CBAM, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, is a CO2 regulation of the European Commission as part of the European Green Deals to combat climate change and prevent carbon leakage. If a product is imported from a non-EU country into the EU, this product may be affected by CBAM. Gradually, up to 50% of the sectors from the EU- Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) are to be covered.

According to CBAM regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/956), it is determined which product groups are affected.
Cement
Electricity
Hydrogen
Fertilizer
Iron
&
Steel
Aluminium

CBAM will be implemented over two periods.

Transition Phase

01. October 2023 - 31. December 2025

Reporting obligation

Penalties for false or incorrect reports of €10-50/tCO2

Quarterly report upload

Deadline for follow-up of the first 3 reports (Q4-2023, Q1-2024, Q2-2024) until 31 July 2024

Use of default values only permitted up to the Q2-2024 report

From the Q3-2024 report onwards, the new EU method or equivalent methods for calculating emissions are permitted

From 1 January 2025, only the new EU method is approved for calculating emissions

Pricing Phase

from 01. January 2026

Purchasing CBAM Certificates

The certificate price is based on the EU ETS CO2-Price

Certificates for at least 80% of the imported CO2-Quantity must be held by the company

Annual report upload

CBAM poses challenges for producers and exporters from non-EU countries as well as for importers from within the EU and ties up valuable resources to fulfil the requirements of CBAM.

Exporter (non-EU)

Training of the responsible position regarding the requirements of CBAM
Determination of the relevant data for the calculation
Accurate measurement of the relevant data
Calculation of the CO2-footprint according to CBAM
Periodic execution of the calculation by qualified employees

Importer (EU)

Assigning responsibility and accountability to one position at each company location
Requesting suppliers to provide data
Monitoring the status of the data transmission
Validation of the quality and completeness of the transmitted data
Summarising the relevant data for reporting
Manual completion of values for the CBAM report on the CBAM platform
Creation of an XML file for uploading to the CBAM platform

CBAM´s system boundaieres differ from other CO2-Footprint calculations

For the calculation of CO2-Emissions according to CBAM the system boundaries are defined differently compared to common product or location CO2 footprint calculations (such as the GREENHOUSE GAS PROTOCOL). The difference in the scopes can lead to incorrect values, which can result in a penalty or the loss of the existing competitive advantage.

Approach

We are convinced that only a holistic approach and collaboration along the entire value chain will lead to improvement. Consequently, we start at the beginning. By collecting the data from the first CBAM-relevant producer, we are able to ensure the quality and completeness of the data.
