Frequently asked questions about the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)

The introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) marks a significant step by the European Union (EU) towards a climate-neutral economic area in line with its ambitious "Green Deal". CBAM, a system for identifying and offsetting emissions from imported goods, is seen as an essential addition to the existing EU emissions trading system.
