Carbon credits and CBAM

Two markets are coming together. The first is Europe's carbon border, which already affects exporters of steel, aluminium, cement and fertilisers. The second is carbon credits, which governments and companies buy to meet their commitments.

CBAM has applied since 1 January 2026

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism covers imported steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity. Importers of less than 50 tonnes a year are exempt.

First certificates in February 2027

CBAM certificates will go on sale from 1 February 2027. The first declaration, covering 2026 imports, is due on 30 September 2027.

What it changes for a non-EU exporter

Without verified emissions data, the importer pays on the basis of marked-up default values. Any carbon price already paid in the country of origin can be deducted. A supplier that documents its emissions becomes more competitive.

Article 6.2: Africa transfers its first credits

In 2025, Ghana became the first African country to transfer carbon credits to another state, Switzerland, under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement.

Article 6.4: the UN carbon market is up and running

Aviation: CORSIA in its first phase

International aviation is in the first phase of CORSIA, from 2024 to 2026. Eligible credits remain scarce, which supports demand for quality projects.

Quality: the CCP label

As of November 2026, the ICVCM's Core Carbon Principles label covers 13 programmes and 47 methodologies.

Africa: a target of 300 million credits a year

The Africa Carbon Markets Initiative targets 300 million credits a year by 2030. Kenya already regulates its carbon markets through a 2023 law and regulations issued in May 2024.

What we do: we identify EU importers subject to CBAM that are looking for suppliers with documented emissions, as well as credit buyers and project developers. Every lead shows whether your product falls within the scope of CBAM.
