EU CBAM Phase 2 Effective Penalty on Thai Hard-to-Abate Exports

EUR 75-95 per tonne CO2

As of2026-2027·Sources3·Supporting

EU CBAM Phase 2 effective from 2026-2027 imposes an estimated EUR 75-95 per tonne CO2 carbon border adjustment on Thai cement, fertiliser, hydrogen, aluminium, and iron-and-steel exports. The penalty is the structural driver for CCUS as a compliance hedge rather than a voluntary ESG initiative, and it dwarfs the marginal cost differential between conventional and CCS-abated tonnes for several Thai operators.
