As part of the European Green Deal, implementation of a BCA is once again being considered as a measure to address competitiveness concerns within the EU. According to the roadmap for the European Green Deal, and European Council conclusions from July, a proposal for a BCA for “selected sectors” will be released in 2021 and should be introduced by the end of 2022.

During this meeting the ERCST will present the Sectoral Report on sectoral deep dive with a special chapter that would synthesize the findings for individual sectors to a general CBAM Design.

ERCST’s project on border carbon adjustment is supported by BDI, CEFIC, Enel, Eurofer, Eurometaux, Fertilizers Europe, FuelsEurope, HeidelbergCement, the Government of France, the Government of Germany, the Government of Spain, Metinvest, Solvay and SITRA.

This meeting is on the record and press is invited
