European copper smelters and refineries face carbon-related operating costs without the direct border protection available to producers of certain other metals under the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

Europe’s ability to secure copper for cables, transformers, electric motors and renewable-energy equipment depends on more than developing new mines. Smelting and refining capacity converts internationally traded copper concentrate into
Carbon intensity is becoming an additional factor in European primary aluminium trade as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) brings unwrought aluminium within its scope. Alongside grade, location premiums,
The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) could provide a more measurable basis for pricing low-carbon aluminium by linking differences in verified emissions to importers’ carbon-related costs. Low-carbon metal
Europe’s aluminium industry faces growing competition between primary metal production and recycled aluminium as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) increases the significance of embedded emissions in import costs.
The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) applies unevenly across the ferroalloy market, leaving several strategically important materials outside its current coverage. While ferro-manganese, ferro-chromium and ferronickel are covered,
CBAM Reshapes Steel Feedstock Markets as Demand for Low-Carbon Scrap, DRI and Iron Ore Pellets Grows
Europe’s steel decarbonisation drive is intensifying competition for low-carbon steel feedstocks, including high-quality scrap, direct reduced iron (DRI) and iron ore pellets. The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) applies unevenly across the ferroalloy market, leaving several strategically important metals outside its current scope despite concentrated import sources and their use
Europe’s steel decarbonisation is increasing competition for high-quality scrap, direct-reduced iron (DRI), hot-briquetted iron (HBI) and suitable iron ore pellets. The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) makes the emissions
The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) treats nickel differently depending on its product form. Ferronickel falls within the covered iron-and-steel tariff scope, while refined nickel under Chapter 75 remains
