As discussions on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) scope extension intensify, ensuring a comprehensive and effective implementation remains essential.
Power cables containing aluminium and steel are strategic net-zero technologies, essential for grid interconnection, renewable energy integration, and Europe’s decarbonisation pathway.
Europacable published an infographic reiterating its key requests on CBAM scope extension:
- Confirm the inclusion of power cables in the scope of CBAM
- Complete the list of included CN codes to prevent circumvention
- Anticipate the application timeline to reduce carbon leakage
- Define solutions to safeguard the competitiveness of European exports
At this decisive stage of the legislative process, aligning CBAM scope with Europe’s industrial and climate ambitions is key.
