As of January 2026, the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has moved from simple reporting to mandatory taxation. Importers of carbon-intensive goods (steel, cement, aluminum, hydrogen) must now purchase CBAM certificates. This makes accurate product-level calculation via tools like carboncalc.online no longer optional, but a prerequisite for EU market access.
