CBAM is a carbon pricing mechanism designed to prevent carbon leakage into the EU. It will replace free allocations. CBAM is scheduled to begin operation in 2026 but the first reporting deadline is January 2024 and the penalties for failing to meet this are severe.
If you are importing into the EU this will have a major impact on your business.
