CBAM obliges companies that import emission-intensive goods into the EU to purchase CBAM emission certificates. The aim is to compensate for the difference between the CO2 price paid in the country of origin and the higher price in the EU emissions trading system. It applies to electricity, cement, aluminium, fertilisers, hydrogen, iron and steel.
