It argues that the current proposal is overly conservative, essentially mirroring the ineffective pollution fee system it aims to replace, and calls for higher tax rates, expanded coverage, reduced exemptions, and clearer enforcement mechanisms. The report offers twelve specific recommendations across three areas: top-level design to ensure the tax reflects &quot;polluter pays&quot; principles and aligns with macro-fiscal reforms; tax rate and coverage design to meaningfully incentivize emission reductions; and tax collection and management to ensure effective implementation with clear inter-agency coordination.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"span2\">Suggested citation:<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"span3\">Liu Shuang, Hu Min.

The methodology combines systematic legal review of the CBAM Regulation and its implementing acts with practical policy assessment, drawing on official EU legislative documents, technical studies from the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the European University Institute (EUI), and expert reports from adelphi and the Climate Club.

The methodology employs a dynamic, process-level scenario-based model (CBAM-CST) that links three steel production routes (BF-BOF, DRI-EAF, and Scrap-EAF) with their emission intensities, energy transition pathways, carbon pricing systems (EU ETS and China&#039;s national carbon market), and trade flows through 2050. The model integrates three sub-modules\u2014inflation and exchange rates, CBAM certificate cost calculation, and China&#039;s steel low-carbon transformation\u2014to simulate CBAM obligations across multiple scenarios (BAU, DCS, and NES), with sensitivity analyses examining the effects of EU ETS carbon prices, domestic carbon market inclusion, electricity decarbonization, and hydrogen utilization on total certificate costs.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Academic Journal Article<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">MAR 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1005\" src=\"https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-6.38.25-PM-768x1005.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-6.38.25-PM-768x1005.jpg 768w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-6.38.25-PM-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-6.38.25-PM-783x1024.jpg 783w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-6.38.25-PM-1174x1536.jpg 1174w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-12-at-6.38.25-PM.jpg 1220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/insights\/a-model-for-analyzing-the-interaction-between-the-european-cbam-and-the-chinese-steel-industry\/\" class=\"con\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"txt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tit\">A Model for Analyzing the Interaction between the European CBAM and the Chinese Steel Industry<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">This report presents the CBAM-CST model, a quantitative tool developed to analyze the long-term interaction between the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and China&#039;s steel industry decarbonization.

It analyzes customs trade data to identify directly affected sectors, estimating potential cost implications through carbon emission and pricing calculations, and evaluating current policy and regulatory frameworks. The report aims to understand both immediate disruptions and longer-term structural pressures on the region, while proposing strategic recommendations for government and enterprise adaptation. These recommendations focus on carbon market development, footprint standards, green manufacturing upgrades, supply chain collaboration, and export market diversification.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Report<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">FEB 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1082\" src=\"https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.54.12-PM-768x1082.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.54.12-PM-768x1082.jpg 768w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.54.12-PM-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.54.12-PM-727x1024.jpg 727w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.54.12-PM-1091x1536.jpg 1091w, https:\/\/igdptest.symbol365.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.54.12-PM.jpg 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This report provides recommendations for improving China&#8217;s proposed Environmental Protection Tax, building on expert discussions around the 2015 draft legislation.
