CBAM: Consultation On Implementing Regulations

The European Commission is calling for evidence until 25 September 2025 on three sets of Implementing Regulations under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Regulation.

The CBAM applies to certain goods being imported into the EU (in the categories of cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen) and is designed to apply the same carbon costs to those goods as would have been incurred had they been produced in the EU. Work is underway to simplify and refine the operation of the CBAM, as well as to later extend the scope of goods to which it applies. We look at these recent developments in our briefing: Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism: Simplification and Next Steps.
