This border carbon tax is an environmental protection mechanism designed to tax imported emissions at the European carbon price.
What is the CBAM?
On 22 June 2022, the European Parliament voted to create a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
The creation of this border carbon tax is one of the tools in the Fit for 55 package which, along with the reform of the Emissions Trading Scheme and the new Social Climate Fund, should enable Europe to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 at the latest. It is an environmental protection mechanism designed to tax imported emissions at the European carbon price and reduce the risks of relocation to free-riding countries.

The carbon cost of imported emissions will be paid by the exporter, based on the average weekly price of European allowances.
How does the CBAM work?
The carbon cost of imported emissions will be paid by the exporter, based on the average weekly price of European allowances and taking into account any carbon cost already paid in the country of origin.
In order to succeed, the ecological protectionism project at the borders must be diplomatically and economically acceptable. It will not work without consultation between the states.
Moreover, the regulation commits the Commission to undertaking the creation of an international climate club or “carbon club”, which could be placed under the governance of an institution such as the WTO or the OECD, which are already openly in favour of this principle. The G7 has since created its own climate club.

Are the new CBAM rules known?
No, not in their entirety. The CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is one of the most innovative and ambitious pieces of legislation in the European Union. Numerous implementation rules need to be finalised by 2025, notably concerning the calculation of imported emissions and verification and accreditation mechanisms.
