Module 8 of 9 · S3 · Verification, carbon price paid and the free allocation adjustment

11.Default carbon prices and the pending implementing act

The declarant may instead use a yearly default carbon price for your country, which the Commission may publish from 2027. With default emission values this is the only option.

A detailed implementing act (conversion, exchange rate, evidence) was expected in 2026 but is not in this course's sources yet. Check the Commission's CBAM pages before preparing evidence.
