Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is identified as an EU carbon policy whose entry into force could increase interest in green steel. In this article, it is discussed as a potential driver of future demand rather than as an immediate cause of the current market recovery. The archive should cover CBAM developments when they affect steel demand, pricing, trade conditions or the commercial uptake of lower-carbon products. Its effects should remain distinguished from other policy changes, including the gradual removal of free carbon allowances, when the source treats them separately.
