CBAM
The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is in its definitive phase. From 2026, importers of cement and clinker purchase CBAM certificates at the EU ETS carbon price for every tonne of embedded CO2. Without verified emissions data and a compliant reporting structure, your product is commercially dead on arrival in Europe. MSE builds the carbon layer into your supply chain from day one.

CBAM Cost Calculator

Model your carbon cost from 2026 to 2034

Enter your annual volume and emissions basis. The calculator applies the official CBAM phase-in schedule and the published certificate price to project the obligation through full phase-in. Indicative planning tool.

-Embedded emissions (tCO2/yr)
-Cost in 2026
-Cost at full phase-in (2034)

Indicative estimate. Applies the free-allocation phase-out schedule under Regulation (EU) 2023/956 (2026: 2.5%, 2027: 5%, 2028: 10%, 2029: 22.5%, 2030: 48.5%, 2031: 61%, 2032: 73.5%, 2033: 86%, 2034: 100%) and a certificate price of EUR 75.36/tCO2 - the first official CBAM price published by the European Commission on 7 April 2026. Default values from Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621 Annex I (effective 1 January 2026). Country-specific defaults carry mark-ups: 10% (2026), 20% (2027), 30% (2028+). Verified supplier data, product-specific benchmarks, and any carbon price paid at origin change the result. Not a substitute for a verified CBAM declaration. MSE structures the emissions data, benchmark alignment, and reporting. EU IR 2025/2621
