Share of free allocation remaining for CBAM-covered products, under Directive (EU) 2023/959, Article 10a. It applies to the benchmarks for those products, not necessarily to an installation's whole allocation, so it is not applied to the figures on this page.
Proposed change
A European Commission proposal of 17 July 2026 would restore 15% of the phased-out free allocation for CBAM sectors from 2028 and extend the end of the phase-out from 2034 to 2038. This is a proposal and not yet law.
