The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a climate measure that aims to prevent the risk of carbon leakage and support the EU's increased climate mitigation ambitions. It will enter into operation on 1st October 2023. It will initially apply to imports of certain goods and selected precursors whose production is carbon intensive and at most significant risk of carbon leakage: cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen. It affects EU and non-EU companies in these industries, as well as exporting and importing companies and EU customs representatives alike.

The training is designed for import and export professionals, customs managers, R&D Managers, Engineers, PM Product Managers, Supply Chain & Logistics / Operations Responsible Persons, General Managers, Managing Directors (for overview and understanding) – everyone involved in moving carbon-intensive products around the globe with touchpoints in the European Union.

This three-hour course is designed to help you deal with all activities required to help you prepare and implement the CBAM - EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism - private or public organisations. We will teach you how the new EU law works, the timeline, how to calculate the carbon price and how to apply for CBAM certificates as well as how to set up CBAM-compliant processes and procedures.
