Addressing exports under the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism​
Solutions against carbon leakage risks

Such a package alongside an export adjustment would help keep climate-neutral industrial products #competitive worldwide, anchor investments and strengthen Europe’s economy. 8/x

At the same time, tackling export leakage is just one piece of Europe’s industrial transformation.

We also need:
🏷️ strong and predictable carbon prices
⚡ affordable energy through accelerated renewables buildout
💶 de-risked clean investments
🌱scaling up green #leadmarkets 7/x

The mechanism should be effective, environmentally robust, non-discriminatory, simple and transparent – only covering verified exports and only bridging the carbon cost gap between the EU and destination markets. 6/x

🎯 be benchmarked to the top 10% best-performing installations
✅ be conditional on real emissions reductions 5/x

Our proposal: a long-term export adjustment to keep decarbonising companies competitive abroad. ⚙️

We suggest compensating exporters with #ETS allowances for the share of production that is verified as exported, starting in 2028. This compensation would: 4/x

Our new analysis together with @agoraew.bsky.social shows that a small but important share of exports will remain exposed. Around 40% of CBAM-sector exports go to countries with similar carbon pricing – but the rest go to markets where #carbonprices are much lower or non-existent. 3/x
November 24, 2025 at 10:03 AM
But as it only tackles carbon leakage on imports, an important question remains: how can Europe protect exporters while staying on track for #climateneutrality? 🌍 2/x

With targeted investment, enabling policies and international strategic partnerships, the path to climate-neutral steel by mid-century is within reach. 8/x

• Coordinated action across governments, industry and buyers is essential: from ensuring affordable renewable hydrogen and robust product standards to deploying contracts for difference and green public procurement. 7/x

• Announced H₂-DRI capacity (89 Mt) today falls far short of the approx. 1,000 Mt per year needed by 2050 – requiring an accelerated global build-out from 2035 onward. 6/x

• With 70% of blast furnaces due for reinvestment in the next decade, now is the moment to redirect capital towards near-zero technologies.

• Hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (H₂-DRI) combined with electric arc furnaces (EAF) is the most promising, scalable route for deep decarbonisation. 5/x

🌱 Our new policy brief lays out how to make this happen, outlining the policies, investments and technologies needed to transform steel production worldwide.

Some key takeaways: 4/x

But with plateauing emissions largely due to falling output rather than cleaner production, true decarbonisation requires coordinated action across the value chain 🌍 3/x

With a wave of reinvestments due & climate targets rapidly approaching, the steel sector is entering a decisive decade.
⚙️ Today, the global #steelsector accounts for around 9% of global greenhouse gas emissions, while underpinning modern economies with essential materials, infrastructure & jobs. 2/x

Zudem können grüne Leitmärkte als Vorbild für andere EU-Staaten dienen und sollten schrittweise auf Automobilindustrie und Hochbau ausgeweitet werden. 9/x

Kurz gesagt: Staatlich gesicherte Infrastrukturaufträge schaffen einen stabilen, planbaren Absatzmarkt für emissionsarme Grundstoffe – ein Anker für grüne Leitmärkte und ein Signal an Investoren. 8/x
