Parallel Panel Va. Industry on the road between free allowances and carbon border adjustment mechanism
As part of the EU climate efforts, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been proposed that should prevent the risk of carbon leakage and support the EU’s increased ambition on climate mitigation while ensuring WTO compatibility. The CBAM will progressively become an alternative to the Emissions Trading System (ETS), which is the world’s first international emissions trading scheme. The European Commission states that ETS has been effective in addressing the risk of leakage but it also dampens the incentive to invest in greener production at home and abroad. How will the CBAM approach influence the industry´s imports and exports to third countries? What is the answer to the new system from the industrial players? Is the combination of CBAM and free allowances feasible? And what are the barriers to and driving forces for industrial energy efficiency improvements that would lead to a decrease in energy consumption in the industry?
