Carbon Costs on EU Imports are Rising

As free allowances under the EU Emissions Trading System gradually decline, carbon costs for imported goods will increase. Businesses trading with the EU need to understand how these changes could influence pricing, competitiveness, and supply chain decisions.

What the transition could look like

2026: 97.5% Free Allocation
Minimal CBAM costs during the early definitive phase
2030: 51.5% Free Allocation
Costs rise sharply - impacts pricing for trading
2034: 0% Free Allocation
Full carbon cost applies to all CBAM-covered goods entering the EU
