Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) starts in its transitional phase 

On 1 October, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) entered into application in its transitional phase.

One of the central pillars of the EU's ambitious Fit for 55 Agenda, CBAM is the EU's landmark tool to fight carbon leakage and encourage global industry to embrace greener and more sustainable technologies.

To help EU importers and non-EU installations in the practical implementation of the new rules, the Commission has made available detailed written guidance, online training materials and webinars, sector-specific factsheets and a step-by-step checklist for businesses to follow as the transitional mechanism begins.
