CBAM | Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms

Ease compliance,
control costs,
make strategic decisions.

Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms are not just reporting obligations, but cost drivers with strategic implications. Forward-looking CBAM consulting helps you keep ahead.

CBAM Strategy

Understanding where exposure lies is essential. Learn how the CBAM impacts your business model and explore the option space available to manage obligations. Without a clear strategy, you risk overpaying, facing compliance gaps, or missing opportunities to reduce exposure.

Establish your strategic approach to CBAM.

Our CBAM consulting empowers you to make informed and effective decisions on all key aspects of CBAM compliance by helping you understand your options and assess their strategic implications.

YOUR STRATEGIC CHOICES

Compliance Approach

Emission Data Management

Reporting & Data Collection

Outsourcing CBAM compliance to an appointed representative can reduce internal workload and free up key resources for core business functions.

Collecting actual emissions data from selected suppliers can reduce CBAM costs, but for others, relying on default values may be more practical and cost-effective.

For complex supply chains and varied product portfolios, automated data collection and reporting can reduce errors and often prove more cost-efficient than manual processes.

Supplier Engagement

CBAM Certificate Management

CBAM Cost Management

Supporting suppliers in delivering accurate CBAM data on time can be cost-effective, especially when reinforced through contract adjustments that define responsibilities and address delays or errors upfront.

Determine whether CBAM certificate purchases can be managed as routine quarterly expenses or if they require dedicated liquidity planning due to their scale and timing.

Understand the available options to manage direct CBAM compliance costs and discover how to fine-tune or hedge your expenses to align with your business objectives.

COST MODELING SOLUTION

How We Model Your CBAM Exposure and Procurement Options

Turning complexity into clarity: your CBAM exposure, quantified and managed.

Modelling CBAM Policy

Our CBAMCC model, forecasts embedded emissions, certificate demand, and CBAM costs from 2026 to 2034. It supports importers, exporters, and producers in understanding both short- and long-term commercial impacts. The model runs on daily time steps and is continuously updated to reflect regulatory and market developments.

Data & Parameters

CBAMCC uses your production, export, or import data, such as volumes, dates, tariff codes, and emissions values, alongside market data like CO2 prices and CBAM benchmarks. It allows for scenario adjustments, including phasing in/out import streams, indirect emissions pricing, and supply chain emission changes over time.

Results & Analysis

The model delivers detailed, position-specific results on emissions and CBAM costs, aggregated by quarter or year. The procurement & hedging module compares strategies based on statistical performance, helping you select the most cost-effective and risk-aligned approach.
