Importers will be required to report on products\u2019 direct emissions, including through the production process of the goods expressed as CO2e per tonne, and on indirect emissions, with information including the electricity consumption of the production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBAM will initially apply to specific products from carbon intensive sectors, including iron and steel, cement, fertilizers, aluminum, electricity, hydrogen, and some downstream products such as screws and bolts, as well as to some indirect emissions under certain conditions. In the transition phase, which runs until 2026 importer obligations are limited only to reporting of product emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU Commission added that it has also published guidance today to help importers and third country producers to implement the new rules, and noted that dedicated IT tools to help importers perform and report the required calculations are currently being developed, along with training materials, webinars and tutorials.<\/p><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Commission announced today the adoption of reporting rules for importers of products under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the EU\u2019s new carbon tax on imported goods, aimed at equalizing the carbon price paid by European producers with those outside the EU.
