EU sets third-quarter CBAM certificate price at €82.32 a tonne of CO₂, up from €75.28 in the second quarter

What happened

The European Commission has published the reference price of Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism certificates for the third quarter of 2026: €82.32 per tonne of CO₂, against €75.36 for the first quarter and €75.28 for the second. For 2026 the price is the quarterly average of EU ETS auction prices; from 2027 it is to be published weekly. Certificate purchases by importers of covered goods start in February 2027 and cover their 2026 imports. The fourth-quarter price is due on 4 January 2027. In September the European Parliament backed extending CBAM to steel-intensive products and voted to remove a clause allowing temporary exemptions in a price shock.

Why it matters for listed companies

The certificate price is what importers of steel, aluminium, cement, fertiliser and other covered goods owe per tonne of embedded emissions, so it sets the cost gap between imported and EU-made material. European producers pay the equivalent carbon price through the ETS, which is why the two move together; a higher quarter raises costs on both sides of the border. Listed distributors, carmakers, machinery makers and builders that buy imported steel and aluminium carry the charge in purchase costs for 2026 volumes, with the cash payment falling due in 2027.
