Several factors contribute to determining the effective carbon price due:
- Actual Carbon Price: The price of a tonne of CO2e in the carbon pricing scheme of the jurisdiction where the goods are produced.
- Emission Coverage: The extent to which emissions from the production processes are covered by the carbon pricing scheme, including both direct and indirect emissions.
- Applicable Rebates: Any rebates received, such as free allocation in the case of an Emissions Trading System (ETS), financial support, compensation, or other forms of rebate, per tonne of the CBAM goods.
- Carbon Price of Precursor Materials: For complex goods, the carbon price due (after accounting for any rebates) of any precursor materials consumed in the production process.
