As Europe intensifies its climate action, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is taking center stage. This transformative initiative is pushing high-emitting industries to enhance their emissions reporting, shifting from default values to actual embedded emissions.
📊 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬:
• 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: Sectors like iron, steel, aluminum, and ammonia are among the most exposed to CBAM, facing significant requirements to accurately report emissions.
• 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: The infographic highlights wide variations in global carbon pricing, with the EU leading at over $80/mtCO2e, setting a high standard for other regions.
• 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞: With the transition phase already in progress, industries must prepare for full CBAM implementation by 2026, when importers will start paying a carbon import levy.
🔍 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
For companies operating within or trading with the EU, adapting to CBAM isn’t just about compliance—it's essential for staying competitive in a market that increasingly prioritizes transparency and sustainability.
