On 7 April 2026, the European Commission officially published the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) certificate price for the first quarter of 2026. This price sets a key reference for importers preparing for the financial impact of the mechanism.
CBAM Certificate Price: Implications for Importers
The CBAM certificate price, corresponding to one tonne of CO₂, has been set at €75.36 for Q1 2026. All certificates linked to imports during this period will need to be purchased at this price from February 2027.
In 2026, the European Commission will publish prices on a quarterly basis, before moving to a weekly system from 2027 to better reflect market dynamics.
