Assessment of CBAM-related GHG emission verifications


INHALT


The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) introduces a carbon cost for imported goods, aligning them with the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS1). Companies face significant uncertainty regarding embedded emissions, data quality, and verification requirements. Different valuation approaches (actual vs. default vs. benchmark values) create cost variability and strategic levers. Additionally, recognition of carbon prices paid in third countries adds further complexity. A structured cost analysis model is therefore essential for informed decision-making and compliance optimization.
 
AUFGABENSTELLUNG

  • Analyze the regulatory framework of the CBAM and its linkage to the EU ETS1
  • Develop a modular cost model covering emission costs, verification costs, and different emission value approaches (actual, default, benchmark)
  • Integrate third-country carbon pricing mechanisms and extend the model to reflect the time value of money
  • Implement a Monte Carlo–based uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for key input parameters (e.g., carbon prices, emission levels, data quality)
  • Apply the model to selected case studies and evaluate cost ranges as well as strategic implications for companies
