All you need to know about the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)

Don’t wait until 2026 to understand how CBAM could reshape your electricity import strategy. This whitepaper breaks down what others are still trying to interpret, so you can act, not react:

  • How default emission values could penalize clean power from countries like the UK and Türkiye
  • What makes “no congestion” one of the toughest requirements for importers to prove
  • Why PPAs and renewable certificates don’t offer protection—even when the energy is green
  • What you can do now to get ready before the CBAM registry and certificate system go live
