On December 13^th the European Parliament and the Council reached a political agreement to introduce an EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. Although not part of the initial European Commission Proposal, CBAM will also apply to hydrogen together with cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, and electricity.

During this meeting we took stock of the implications of the inclusion of hydrogen in the EU-CBAM. This preliminary discussion and exchange of ideas informed an ERCST report that built on the same methodological approach used by ERCST for the analysis of other sectors (i.a. chemicals, electricity, fertilisers, ferrous metals etc.).
