Frequently Asked Questions on EU ETS, Carbon Pricing & CBAM Regulations

How does the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) operate?

Regulation (EU) 2023/956 establishes CBAM to equalize carbon costs between domestic goods subject to the EU ETS and imported goods (cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen). Following a transitional reporting phase, importers must purchase CBAM certificates starting in 2026 as free ETS allowances are phased out.

What is ETS 2 in European climate law?

ETS 2 is a separate cap-and-trade system covering fuel combustion in buildings, road transport, and small industrial sectors starting in 2027, regulating fuel distributors rather than end consumers.

What is the Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF)?

Regulation (EU) 2024/XXX establishes a voluntary EU certification framework for carbon removals and carbon farming, defining four categories: permanent carbon storage (geological), long-lasting carbon storage in products (e.g., biochar), carbon farming on agricultural/forest land, and soil carbon sequestration, with quantification, monitoring, and verification methodologies to prevent greenwashing.
