CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) Consultancy 

We offer a CBAM Consultancy Service to help businesses meet EU rules requiring importers of carbon intensive products to report embedded emissions. 

What is CBAM?

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is an EU regulation designed to prevent carbon leakage and encourage greener global trade. It places a carbon price on imported goods, ensuring they face similar carbon costs as EU-manufactured products

Who does it apply to?

CBAM applies to industries such as: Iron & steel Cement Aluminium Fertilisers Electricity Hydrogen

Why act now?

EU importers must use actual emissions data instead of default values wherever possible. UK businesses must be prepared to:

• Provide detailed carbon emissions data for their products.
• Account for both direct and indirect emissions.
• Avoid trade disruptions, penalties, or reduced market access.

Failure to comply could increase costs for EU importers, making UK products less competitive
