Content & Relevance

The CBAM is the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism, which requires importers of carbon-intensive goods such as steel, cement, aluminum, and fertilizers to purchase carbon credits. The transition phase has been in effect since October 2023, and the requirement to purchase allowances will take effect in January 2026. Companies that import such goods must correctly comply with the new reporting requirements.

Errors in CO2 reporting lead to financial penalties and delays in importing goods. The course shows how to correctly apply calculation methods and meet deadlines to avoid such risks.
