CBAM Goods

The CBAM will initially apply to imports of certain goods and selected precursors whose production is carbon intensive and at most significant risk of carbon leakage.

This is the CBAM list of goods:

• CEMENT
• IRON & STEEL
• ALUMINIUM
• FERTILISERS
• ELECTRICITY
• HYDROGEN

With this enlarged scope, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism goods will eventually – when fully phased in – capture more than 50% of the emissions in ETS covered sectors.

At the same time, the product scope will be reviewed to assess the feasibility of including other goods produced in sectors covered by the EU ETS in the scope of the CBAM mechanism, such as certain downstream products and those identified as suitable candidates during negotiations.

The report will include a timetable setting out their inclusion by 2030.
