What is CBAM?

The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism — in force since January 2026

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is the EU's landmark trade policy requiring EU importers to purchase ETS certificates for the carbon embedded in imports of 6 energy-intensive sectors. The definitive regime began 1 January 2026, making CBAM compliance non-negotiable for thousands of EU businesses.

Importers must track every qualifying shipment, calculate Specific Embedded Emissions (SEE) using EU-approved methods, and file an annual CBAM declaration by 30 September. With ETS prices at €75.28/ tonne CO₂e, a mid-size steel importer can face six-figure annual liabilities— and penalties for non-compliance are severe.

Non-EU operators who proactively share verified SEE data unlock cost savings for their EU customers — and differentiate on the CarbonAtlas Achievers League.
