The European Commission sets the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism certificate price for the second quarter of 2026 at €75.28 per metric ton, slightly below the €75.36 per metric ton recorded in the first quarter. Prices are tied to the average clearing price of European Union Emissions Trading System auctions. Importers of steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity, & hydrogen must purchase certificates from February 2027 to cover 2026 imports. From 2027, prices will be published weekly instead of quarterly.
