How is the CBAM certificate price set?
The price of a CBAM certificate follows the EU carbon market. The European Commission calculates it as the weighted average of the auction clearing prices of EU ETS allowances.
In 2026 the Commission publishes one price per quarter, in the first week after the quarter ends, and each quarterly price applies to the certificates for goods imported during that quarter. From 2027 it publishes a price every week.
Certificates are bought on the common central platform from February 2027. One certificate covers one tonne of CO₂e embedded in the imported goods. Estimate the certificates for an import
