The European Union’s carbon border tariff arrives in January. An architect of the plan discusses its impact on trade, competition, and climate. --- On January 1, 2026, the European Union will launch its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)—the world’s first carbon tariff on imported goods. Designed to support the EU’s ambitious decarbonization goals, CBAM will impose a carbon fee on imports such as steel, aluminum, and fertilizers, while seeking to ensure the competitiveness of European industries. In this episode, Mohammed Chahim, the European Parliament’s lead negotiator on the carbon border fee, breaks down how CBAM will work, its role in the EU’s broader climate strategy, and what it means for global trade. He also discusses how the tariff could affect exporters to the EU, including the United States, and how policymakers aim to navigate potential trade disputes. Dr. Mohammed Chahim is a Dutch member of the European Parliament and its lead negotiator for the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

Demand for low-carbon aluminium has grown in recent years, and Argus has launched a new assessment for a low-carbon upcharge in Europe to track this still-nascent market. But significant challenges remain for the market to generate sustained liquidity and it may require the introduction of more regulation before it can evolve further. Ronan Murphy, Editor of Argus Non-Ferrous Markets, spoke to Argus' Associate Editor and senior aluminium expert Jethro Wookey to explore where the low-carbon aluminium market is now, where it may go, and how primary aluminium producers are also seeking to increase sustainability of their product through increased use of scrap metal. Key topics covered in the podcast: Growth in demand for low-carbon aluminium and the barriers in place to more rapid uptake Wil the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) drive greater liquidity in the European low-carbon aluminium market from 2026? Is the market increasing scrap consumption and can processing capacity keep up with demand?

"Trade has become much more complex, and it's become more complex for both government regulatory reasons, but also for business reasons that companies want to save money and they want to not have surprises in their product." - Tom Gould, Industry Expert In this insightful episode, we sit down with Tom Gould, a renowned expert in the global trade industry. Tom shares his extensive career journey, from automating law firms in the early days of the IBM PC to becoming a leading consultant and advisor in the world of international trade. Main Topics and Takeaways: 1. The Timeless Nature of Global Trade - Tom Gould draws parallels between the trade practices of Christopher Columbus's era and the modern supply chain, highlighting the fundamental aspects of global trade that have remained unchanged over centuries. - "Trade is an ancient industry, right? You can go back to the days of Christopher Columbus or the Silk Road, and really what was happening then international trade. And if we look at what was happening back hundreds of years ago in the way of international trade, and we compare it to what's happening today. Over the last few hundreds of years, things have operated very similarly." 2. The Evolving Regulatory Landscape - Tom discusses the growing focus on supply chain traceability, driven by initiatives like the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) and the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). - "If we look at some of the other initiatives that are out there that the governments are looking at, that the government agencies are looking at, whether it be a forced labor issue, free trade agreements, anti dumping, countervailing duties, or even things like environmental aspects." 3. Challenges in Sustainability and Recycling - Tom highlights the challenges companies face in ensuring the sustainability and ethical sourcing of their products, particularly in the apparel industry, where the recycling of materials has become increasingly difficult. - "The one that I, the one that I, I think about, is recycled. I don't know if you know, but clothing recycling no longer happens, or barely happens anymore. Why is that? Because the companies that bought the recycled material can no longer guarantee that no one fiber in their new in their product that was made with recycled material was made with forced labor." 4. Tom Gould's Expertise and Consulting Areas - Tom shares his top three areas of expertise: retail products, complex duties, and de minimis shipments, highlighting the depth of his knowledge and the value he brings to his clients. This episode provides a comprehensive look at the evolving landscape of global trade, with insights from an industry pioneer, Tom Gould.

We discuss with Prof. Harald Fadinger (University of Mannheim) how the EU taxes the carbon content of imported goods via its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). We critically review the effectivenes of CBAM to prevent "carbon leakage", i.e., the international reallocation of production to locations with low carbon prices, and its effect on the international competitiveness of EU firms. CBAM appears to perform badly on both of these and a number of other fronts. We also discuss alternative approaches for international carbon price adjustments, partly based on research by Harald and his coauthors: "Designing Effective Carbon Border Adjustment with Minimal Information Requirements. Theory and Empirics", by A. Campolmi, H. Fadinger, C. Forlati, S. Stillger and U. Wagner.

Geely has announced a fast-charging LFP battery which boasts an impressive 4.5C charging rate, enabling fast charging of up to 500 kW, marking another Chinese manufacturer stealing a march on Western producers. The UK has introduced a carbon tax legislation, soon to be further clarified, which is analogous to the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Angola has quit the OPEC organisation in a context of mediocre oil prices.
Patrick Bond, political economist, Professor of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg, and Director of the Centre for Social Change, expands on the first Global Stocktake produced at COP28. He criticizes the document's weak language of "transitioning away" from fossil fuels, which he says is a distraction from the need to phase out fossil fuels outright. Sanctions such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to prevent carbon leakage were removed from the GST in the name of promoting global trade, another aspect Bond problematizes. He also addresses the BRICS+ divided approach toward Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
In deze Stibbe Legal Insights bespreken Sandra Putting en Jan Reinier van Angeren de aanstaande wijzigingen aan het Europese Emission Trading System (ETS) en de introductie van het Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), een importheffing op CO2-intensieve producten om het ‘koolstofweglekrisico' te verminderen.Vanaf 1 januari 2024 zullen enkele wijzigingen aan het ETS impact hebben op bedrijven: zo zullen de scheepvaart, de luchtvaart en wegverkeer voortaan ook onder het ETS vallen, en zal het aantal gratis emissierechten stap voor stap worden teruggebracht. Het CBAM introduceert een heffing op het importeren van staal, ijzer, aluminium, cement en andere CO2-intensieve producten naar de Europese Unie en heeft als doel om een gelijk speelveld te creëren voor bedrijven binnen én buiten de EU die CO2-intensieve producten produceren. Aan de hand van praktische voorbeelden bespreken Sandra en Jan Reinier de belangrijkste wijzigingen en implicaties voor bedrijven.

Was bedeutet #ESG für die Unternehmenseinheiten und im Speziellen für den Einkauf und die Steuerabteilung? Die Politik verschärft bei der ökologischen Transformation des EU- Wirtschaftsraums das Tempo und agiert durch einen Tsunamie neuer Regelungen und Vorgaben, die die Supply Chain (Lieferkette) von Unternehmen maßgeblich verändern werden. Dabei spielt der Einkauf eine wesentliche Rolle, weshalb Hermann Gauß im Gespräch mit Reinhard Frigger darlegt, wie ein nachhaltiger Einkauf einen höheren Mehrwert für Unternehmen bieten kann (Stichwort: Scope 3). Zudem erfordert die Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetzgebung auch eine Neusortierung der Produktlebenszyklen. Und ab Oktober gilt der der Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (#CBAM, Grenzausgleichsabgabe), der ein Carbon Leakage verhindern und die innerhalb der EU produzierende Wirtschaft schützen soll. Noch hat diese aber nur selten ihre Produktion vollständig innerhalb der EU und ist damit auch sehr gefordert den neuen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden. Diese Details vermittelt Richard J. Albert (Stichwort: Emmissionshandel). Betroffenen Unternehmen werden feststellen, dass es im Regelfall einiges an Hausaufgaben zu erledigen gilt. Das Zeitalter der Dekarbonierung ist da, Unternehmen müssen sich umstellen.
The global supply chain landscape is returning to "normal" conditions in the second quarter of 2023, with supplier delivery times improving and shipping rates at their lowest since September 2020. However, the second half of the year presents challenges, including the direction of corporate sourcing strategies, political tensions, and the implementation of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Is global trade doomed for a decline or set for recovery? Can corporate decision-makers hope for a new-normal in supply chain operations? Deglobalization or a new era of trade expansion? Our experts discuss the outlook for the rest of 2023 and beyond. The full article explores key trends and challenges for the global supply chain landscape in the coming months: https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/blog/global-supply-chains-what-to-watch-in-q2-23 Speakers: Chris Rogers Head of Supply Chain Research, S&P Global Market Intelligence Agnieszka Maciejewska Economics Manager, Trade Forecast, S&P Global Market Intelligence
On April 18th, 2023, the European Parliament approved the legislation for the implementation of a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) as part of the European Union's (EU) “Fit for 55 in 2030 package”, which is aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55 percent before 2030. From this mammoth legislative change, we have the EU & China at an interesting crossroads in the global race for carbon neutrality, but where do China and EU interests intersect on climate action and how will EU/Chinese businesses involved be affected? Lets dive into the matter further in this latest episode.

The European Commission has adopted a set of proposals, known as the European Green deal, with the aim of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union (EU) by at least 55% by 2030, and achieving zero net emissions by 2050. In addition to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), another pillar of this policy is the creation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), a new border tax aimed at equalizing the price of carbon paid for EU products operating under the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) with that of similar imported goods.CBAM is likely to impact the cost of carbon in global supply chains, and also has reporting obligations beginning as early as October of 2023, and the regulation has raised many questions. Which companies will it impact? What products are in scope? Will it impact companies that don't do business in the EU?This week, Heather Horn was joined by Barry Murphy and Niels Muller, PwC partners who are following CBAM, to share their insights on what it means and what companies can do now to prepare.In this episode, you'll hear discussion of:2:26 - An overview of the EU Green Deal and CBAM9:37 - How CBAM is intended to spur global alignment on carbon pricing13:26 - Effective dates, applicable products, and other details of the regulation25:58 - The current status of verification (audit) requirements and how these may evolve29:39 - How CBAM could potentially impact the cost of carbon in global supply chains33:59 - Recommendations for companies that want to begin preparing for CBAM ahead of the October 2023 effective dateWant to learn more about CBAM?

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined in Madrid by Edwin Visser, PwC's European Tax Policy Leader. Prior to joining PwC, Edwin was the Deputy Director General for Tax Customs Policy and Legislation and Director for Direct Taxes at the Dutch Ministry of Finance. One of the real challenges for tax professionals and advisors is the sheer volume of tax proposals from the European Union. Edwin and Doug discuss the numerous EU tax proposals, including the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR), Green Energy Credits, ATAD3. They also cover the EU's legislative process, flashback to the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB), then tackle Business in Europe: Framework for Income Taxation (BEFIT), the SAFE project, and the Debt-equity bias reduction allowance (DEBRA). They cap the episode with a check in on Pillar One and Pillar Two.
The European Union's implementation of a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to support its industry's efforts to decarbonize and prevent carbon leakage is likely to have far-reaching effects on global trade and the wider energy transition. S&P Global Commodity Insights' experts Eklavya Gupte, Coralie Laurencin, Michael Evans and Paula VanLaningham take a deep dive on CBAM, examining its potential impact on a range of industries, political alliances and its influence on carbon pricing and regulation.

In July 2021, the European Commission adopted a Proposal for establishing a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The aim of the proposal is to require importers to buy carbon certificates corresponding to the carbon price that would have been paid had the goods been produced under the EU's carbon pricing rules. Conversely, once a non-EU producer can show they have already paid a price for the carbon used in the production of the imported goods in a third country, the corresponding cost can be fully deducted for the EU importer. The CBAM is intended to complement the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and level the playing field between EU and non-EU businesses. The EU ETS, which sets a cap on the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that can be released from industrial installations in certain sectors, works through a system of allowances that must be bought on the ETS trading market, though a certain number of free allowances is distributed to prevent carbon leakage. The CBAM will progressively become an alternative to this. Moreover, in the Commission's new proposal for a revised ETS, the number of free allowances for all sectors will decline over time, and for the CBAM sectors, the free allowances will gradually be phased out as from 2026.An industry particularly susceptible to these mechanisms is that of steel, which has set out the ambition to reduce its CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030 compared to 2018 (= 55% compared to 1990). Currently, there are more than 50 steel projects that could be implemented at industrial scale by 2030 in order to achieve this ambitious objective. The estimated costs are 25 billion EUR Capex and 45 billion EUR Opex, plus 150 TWh of carbon-free electricity needed, including for hydrogen production, by 2030. The EU steel industry states it is willing to invest in order to implement these and other projects, with the support of EU and national programmes and EU legislation that allows a sustainable transition.Stakeholders from the industry have expressed some concerns about the CBAM and ETS. They claim that the additional direct carbon costs for the steel industry with the combined effect of CBAM and ETS on the free allowances phase-out will be of nearly 14 billion euros in 2030 with ‘business as usual' emissions, or 8,4 billion euros if the sector is able to reduce its emissions by 30% by 2030. Industry also claims that in 2030, an average EU steel company retrofitting its plant with clean technology will face 400 million euros carbon costs, while a similar non-EU company exporting its steel into the EU market will bear only 30 million euros of costs, despite the CBAM levy at the border.Relisten to this EURACTIV Virtual Conference to find out about the impact of the CBAM and ETS mechanisms on the steel industry. Discussed questions included: - Is the Fit for 55 Package also “fit” to ensure a level playing field between EU steelmakers and non EU-steelmakers?- In light of the current energy and carbon prices spikes, how can the phasing out of free allowances be implemented in a sustainable way?- Can the CBAM coexist with the current system of free allowances? - Why should we need export adjustments and to what extent are they compliant with WTO requirements?- Investments in breakthrough technologies and affordable CO2-free energy are key for scaling up low-carbon steel projects already in progress. How can those needs be met, while creating lead markets for the greener but also more expensive EU steel?
Afgelopen week zijn de onderhandelingen over ‘Fit for 55' gestart. Dit in juli door de Europese Commissie gepresenteerde wetgevingspakket moet ervoor zorgen dat de EU in 2030 55% minder uitstoot dan in 1990. Einddoel: klimaatneutraal in 2050. Over dat pakket – en vooral het Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) – praat ik met Diederik Samsom, kabinetschef van Europees Commissaris Frans Timmermans. Hoe de EU de rest van de wereld op klimaatsleeptouw wil nemen.
In this episode, James Tennant and Paul discuss the importance of businesses ‘futureproofing' by understanding the changes that are happening now and in the future, and responding accordingly. Then they unpack the proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and consider the likely impact on Australian Businesses. The team unpack Tennant's recently released detailed report on CBAM titled ‘Swings and Roundabouts: The Unexpected Effects of Carbon Border Adjustments on Australia' and discover there are opportunities and challenges for Australia. The conversation also addresses Australia and the likely impact of Carbon Taxes around the world.
De Europese Commissie heeft op 14 juli dertien beleidsmaatregelen gepresenteerd die de EU op schema moeten brengen om haar ambitieuze doelstellingen voor de reductie van broeikasgasemissies (BKG) te behalen. Het gaat om een reductie van 55 procent in 2030 ten opzichte van het niveau van 1990. Internationaal gezien is het Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) het meest controversiële voorstel. Wat is dit en wat zijn de consequenties ervan? Hoor het in deze podcast met Alexandra Dumitru en Maartje Wijffelaars. Interviewer: Otto Raspe.

Forecasts of sharp increases in the costs of carbon for the chemicals industry highlight the need to plan now for a transition to more efficient production.- Chemical industry currently enjoys a lot of free carbon allowances- But these will be decreased, adding significant costs- 2021-2025 – Europe chemicals to pay €1bn/year (with €50/tonne carbon price) to €1.5bn/year (€70/tonne) - 2026-2030 possible 40-50% cut in free allowances for chemical sector- 2026-2030 ICIS carbon price forecast €90-€100/tonne- Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will prevent carbon leakage- This will allow higher carbon pricing in Europe without disadvantaging local production- CBAM applies first to cement, electricity, fertilisers, iron and steel- Chemicals, polymers could be added towards 2030 or later- Chemical companies need to make radical changes to business models- Low carbon solutions must work in developing countries
we focus on a legislative proposal form European Commission, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) which is a part of 'Fit for 55 packages' unveiled on 14 July. The packed policy aims to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.- Will a CBAM fix the problem of carbon leakages?- Is a CBAM legal under existing WTO trade rules?- What is the reaction so far to a CBAM?- What is the impact of CBAM on China's export?
The EU has announced it will introduce a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) as part of its efforts to reach net zero emissions by 2050. This has big implications for the Australian economy, especially carbon intensive expor industries. This week we talk to Richie Merzian and Hannah Melville Rea about what CBAMs are, how they work, why they aren't protectionist and how it will impact Australia.

This is a podcast of the series "Spot on Climate" of the Climate area of the Florence School of Regulation. In this podcast, Research Associate Albert FERRARI continues the conversation with Peter VIS, Senior Advisor at Rud Pedersen Public Affairs and Senior Research Associate at the School of Transnational Governance. This second episode focuses on the design and implementation of the upcoming EU proposal for Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), through a discussion on these two questions: - What advice would you give to the European Commission in developing its proposal? - Under what conditions could we do without it? The European Commission will be presenting in June 2021 a proposal for a CBAM for certain imported products to reduce the risk of carbon leakage, which is the risk of companies transferring production to countries that are less strict about emissions. With a CBAM, the price of imports would reflect more accurately their carbon content. This would ensure that the EU’s climate objectives are not undermined by production relocating to countries with less ambitious policies.
