CBAM in the Aluminium Sector

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a groundbreaking policy introduced by the European Union (EU) to address carbon leakage and support its climate-neutrality goals by 2050. This mechanism ensures imported goods, including aluminium, are subject to a carbon price equivalent to EU-produced goods under the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). Aluminium, due to its carbon-intensive production, is one of the key sectors directly impacted by CBAM.
