Urgent CBAM Benchmark Briefing

About this event

The EU Commission’s new draft CBAM benchmarks have been leaked, and the implications are significant. Default emissions values for steel and aluminium are far higher than expected, creating major cost exposure for importers who rely on default factors in 2026.

In this urgent briefing, CarbonChain will break down the key changes, cost impacts, and immediate steps companies must take to reduce risk.

In this session, we’ll cover:

  • New CBAM default liability ranges (€200–€540/t for BF-BOF steel; €140–€160/t for some EAF & DRI-EAF routes)
  • What the draft benchmarks reveal about EU expectations for supply-chain emissions
  • How updated Free Allocation Adjustment rules will shape cost exposure
  • Why the DRI loophole closure changes the global competitiveness landscape
  • What importers must do now to avoid punitive default costs in 2026
  • How to use verified supplier data to model worst-case vs actual exposure


Who should attend

Importers, steel/aluminium buyers, procurement leads, compliance teams, sustainability officers, carbon strategy leads, and trade advisors preparing for CBAM’s full rollout.

Default = punitive. Verified = essential.

Join us to stay ahead of the new CBAM cost reality.
