What Is CBAM?
CBAM is a system that places a cost on the carbon emissions embodied in certain goods imported into the EU.
Purpose
The primary purpose of CBAM is twofold:
- Reduce Carbon Leakage: This refers to the situation where companies relocate their production facilities to countries with less stringent environmental regulations to avoid carbon pricing within the EU (like the Emissions Trading System or ETS). This can undermine the EU’s overall emission reduction goals, as the pollution simply shifts elsewhere.
- Level Playing Field: Since EU producers face stricter regulations and have to pay for their carbon emissions, they might be undercut by cheaper imports with a larger carbon footprint. CBAM aims to equalize the carbon cost for both domestically produced and imported goods.
Equalizing Carbon Cost
CBAM achieves this goal by:
- Identifying Carbon-intensive Goods: The system currently applies to specific sectors like steel, cement, aluminum, and electricity, all of which have a significant carbon footprint during production.
- Estimating Emissions: Importers are required to report and verify the estimated carbon emissions associated with producing the imported goods.
- CBAM Certificates: Based on the estimated emissions, importers need to purchase and surrender CBAM certificates. The cost of these certificates reflects the carbon price under the EU’s ETS.
This system essentially creates a cost for the carbon embedded in imported goods, bringing their price closer to that of similar products produced within the EU that already account for their carbon footprint through the ETS.

How Will CBAM Affect Your Business?
CBAM presents both challenges and opportunities for businesses. Companies that can adapt to the changing landscape by focusing on decarbonization and supply chain transparency are likely to be better positioned in the future.
For EU Businesses
- Potentially Reduced Competitive Threat: By making carbon-intensive imports more expensive, CBAM can lessen the competitive pressure on EU companies facing stricter environmental regulations.
- Increased Scrutiny of Supply Chains: EU businesses that rely on imported materials or components may need to ensure their suppliers are transparent about carbon emissions to avoid higher CBAM costs for their final products.
For Businesses Outside the EU
- Pressure to Decarbonize: Companies exporting to the EU, particularly those in carbon-intensive sectors, will face pressure to reduce their emissions to avoid CBAM charges. This could lead to investments in cleaner technologies and processes.
- Increased Compliance Costs: Businesses will need to factor in the potential cost of CBAM certificates when pricing their exports to the EU. They may also need to invest in systems to track and verify the carbon footprint of their products.
For All Businesses
- Greater Transparency: CBAM will likely lead to increased transparency in global supply chains as companies track and report on the carbon footprint of their products.
- Potential for Innovation: The need to reduce carbon emissions could drive innovation in cleaner production technologies and processes, benefiting businesses that can develop and implement these solutions.
Uncertainties and Challenges
- Administrative Burden: Businesses may face new administrative burdens associated with complying with CBAM reporting and verification requirements.
- Impact on Developing Countries: The impact of CBAM on developing countries that rely on exports to the EU is a concern. There may be a need for support to help these countries transition to cleaner production methods.
FAQ
Yes, you can use cleancarbon to create a correctly formatted and fully compliant CBAM report in the required xml format. You can download the report from cleancarbon and then upload it to the EU portal to fulfill your CBAM obligations.
Until 31.07.2024, you can use standard values provided by the European Commission to calculate the emissions contained in your imports. With cleancarbon, you can easily add your relevant imports, and we will automatically calculate your import emissions and create your CBAM report for you.
The first CBAM report must take into account all non-EU imports of the relevant goods from the 4th quarter of 2023 and be submitted to your competent authority by 31.01.2024. You can use cleancarbon to create a fully compliant CBAM report.
In the initial phase until June 30, 2024, we offer the option to use standard emission values accepted by the European Commission and therefore CBAM-compliant. Over time, we will provide concrete emissions data for all suppliers in our global database, allowing you to optimize your required certificate requirements.
Yes, we are live and can fully support you in complying with your CBAM requirements.
We work with a total of 6 pricing tiers that accommodate different company sizes. We would be happy to guide you through our price list in a personal conversation.
Currently, CBAM applies to a specific list of goods with a high carbon footprint, including:
- Steel
The EU intends to expand the scope of CBAM to include more sectors in the future
The CBAM is currently in a transitional phase that began in October 2023. This phase focuses on reporting requirements. The full implementation with certificate purchases is expected to start in January 2026.
The price of CBAM certificates will be linked to the average auction price of EU ETS allowances. This means the cost can fluctuate depending on market conditions.
