The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) starts in January 2026, but key aspects of the charge calculation are still unconfirmed. The charge depends on each plant's reported emissions, ranging from about €15/t for efficient plants to €70-80/t or more for others.
Market participants disagree on whether importers or origin producers will bear the cost.
CBAM adds a carbon cost to urea imported into the EU, which could lift delivered prices or pressure FOB prices at origin. Until the methodology is confirmed, traders face added uncertainty in pricing and trade terms.
