Industry dossiers at this stage
- Iron, steel and steel products The sector with the heaviest carbon cost under CBAM; downstream products are proposed to be covered in 2028. NACE C24.1–C24.3
- Aluminium and non-ferrous metals Indirect emissions (the electricity mix) are the main variable in CBAM cost; proof of green power is the competitive edge. NACE C24.4–C24.5
- Cement, glass and ceramics Process emissions dominate; cement is directly covered by CBAM, and embodied carbon in building materials is spreading through public procurement. NACE C23
- Chemicals and fertilisers Fertilisers and hydrogen are already covered by CBAM; organic chemicals and polymers are candidates for the next extension. NACE C20
