New E-Book by Dr. Nyangon Demystifies CBAM: The EU's Pioneering Climate Policy

CBAM: A New Frontier in Climate Policy

CBAM is set to redefine the European Union's approach to carbon emissions. By imposing a carbon tax on imports of specific carbon-intensive products, the EU aims to mitigate carbon leakage and foster equitable competition. This mechanism ensures that external producers adhere to similar standards as domestic producers, who are already under the EU's Emissions Trading System and decarbonization directives.

How Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is Energizing the EU Carbon Market and Industrial Transformation

In the face of climate change, the defining challenge of our era, the European Union is taking a bold step forward with the introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). This innovative policy is set to revolutionize the way carbon emissions are accounted for in trade, and it's the focus of a compelling new e-Book authored by Dr. Joe Nyangon and Brecht Seifi of SAS Institute.

The First Reporting Phase: A New Era Begins

As of October 1st, the CBAM has entered its first reporting phase. This marks the beginning of a significant shift in how businesses interact with the EU market. From 2024, firms will be required to report the embedded emissions in their products, and by 2026, they will need to financially account for the carbon content of their imports.

A Resource for the Future

This e-Book is not just a timely resource; it's a roadmap to understanding and navigating the upcoming changes. Dr. Nyangon and Mr. Seifi delve into the stylized facts of CBAM, providing a detailed analysis of EU emissions by country and industry, and examining the econometric implications of Carbon Leakage Effects.

  • What exactly CBAM is about.

  • The stylized facts of CBAM and EU Emissions by country and industry.

  • The econometric analysis of Carbon Leakage Effects.

  • The EU CBAM and analytics opportunities.

Analytics: The Key to Effective Implementation

The authors also explore the vast opportunities that analytics presents in the context of CBAM. With a wealth of information to be collected and analyzed, and numerous rules and prices to be established, data and analytics will be crucial in ensuring that CBAM is implemented efficiently and achieves its intended goals without undue negative impacts on the economy and businesses.

A Balanced Approach

This e-Book is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the complexities and nuances of CBAM. It's a testament to the role that informed analysis and strategic planning will play in the EU's ambitious efforts to decarbonize its economy and lead the global fight against climate change.
