CarbonZero Global Conference and Exhibition 2025 (October 15-16, Intercontinental Athenee Palace, Bucharest, Romania) presents panel on Decarbonising Cement: CBAM, ETS & the Road Ahead. Take this training opportunity and understand how you can turn challenges to opportunities!
Panel Discussion: CBAM and the EU ETS
The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is reshaping how global industries, particularly carbon-intensive sectors like cement, assess and manage carbon-related risks. Effective risk management begins with understanding the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS)—the foundation upon which CBAM is built. Under the ETS, carbon costs are directly linked to the purchase of EU Allowances (EUAs), and CBAM extends this principle to imports of carbon-intensive goods, including cement.
Cement companies, which face high exposure due to the sector’s inherent emissions intensity, must anticipate both compliance costs and volatility in EUA prices. Increasingly, firms are exploring EUAs not only as a regulatory requirement but also as a strategic hedging instrument against future CBAM liabilities. This convergence of climate policy, market dynamics, and risk management is transforming the cement industry, compelling businesses to integrate carbon pricing into their financial planning, supply chain decisions, and long-term competitiveness strategies.
