CBAM for Hydrogen

CBAM is the EU’s landmark tool to put a fair price on the greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted during the production of certain GHG-intensive goods, including hydrogen, entering the EU.

Hydrogen importers or their customs representatives must declare on a quarterly basis:

• The quantity of hydrogen products (in tonnes) in the scope of CBAM being imported to the EU during the previous quarter
• Direct CO2 emissions embedded during production of the goods being imported to the EU, at installation or production site level.
• Indirect CO2 emissions embedded in the goods as a result of activities involved other than the physical production (e.g. electricity, heating /cooling).
• Any carbon price due or paid in a country of origin for the embedded emissions in the imported goods, deducting any rebate or other form of compensation already received.
