What Is CBAM?
CBAM stands for Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. It’s the EU’s way of putting a price on the carbon emissions in products like iron, steel, aluminum, and cement.
You now need to tell EU buyers how much carbon was used to make your product.

FAQ
What is CBAM for the iron and steel sector?
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) for the iron and steel sector is a European Union initiative designed to ensure that imported steel products are subject to the same carbon costs as those produced within the EU. It aims to prevent carbon leakage, promote low-carbon manufacturing, and encourage exporters to measure and reduce emissions from their production processes.
How does CBAM reporting work for steel producers?
Under CBAM, steel producers exporting to the EU must report the carbon emissions embedded in their products.
The process includes:
- Collecting data on direct and indirect emissions from manufacturing.
- Calculating total emissions per tonne of product.
- Submitting quarterly CBAM reports through the EU portal.
CleanCarbon helps steel producers automate these calculations, maintain accurate emission records, and stay compliant with EU requirements.
How is the cost calculated for CBAM reporting in the steel industry?
CBAM costs are based on the carbon intensity of the exported products and the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) carbon price.
In simple terms:
CBAM Cost = Embedded CO₂ Emissions × EU Carbon Price (€/tonne CO₂)
If the exporter’s home country already applies a carbon tax, that amount can be deducted from the total CBAM charge. CleanCarbon’s reporting tools provide clear, transparent cost estimates based on verified emission data.
What documents or data are steel producers required to provide under CBAM?
Steel producers must provide detailed production and emission data, including:
- Energy and fuel consumption records.
- Material input and output data.
- Process-specific emission factors.
- Production volumes per product type.
- Third-party verification reports (if applicable).
CleanCarbon assists exporters in compiling, validating, and formatting these datasets for EU submission.
What are the penalties for non-compliance in the iron and steel sector?
Failure to comply with CBAM regulations can result in:
- Financial penalties for each tonne of unreported emissions.
- Suspension or rejection of CBAM reports.
- Loss of access to EU markets.
The EU imposes strict reporting timelines, and repeated non-compliance can severely impact trade relationships and brand reputation.
How will CBAM affect competitiveness and pricing for steel exporters?
CBAM will influence pricing by increasing costs for high-emission products, encouraging exporters to adopt greener production technologies. However, exporters that implement low-carbon practices can gain a competitive edge in EU markets, where sustainability is increasingly valued. CleanCarbon helps companies model potential pricing impacts and optimize emission performance to remain competitive.
How often do steel producers have to report under CBAM?
During the transitional phase (October 2023 – December 2025), exporters must submit quarterly CBAM reports detailing product emissions and quantities. From January 2026, companies will need to purchase and surrender CBAM certificates annually based on verified emissions.
