Fertilisers, Cement and Iron & Steel are Morocco's main CBAM-covered export flows to the EU.
Morocco is a major phosphate and phosphate-derived fertiliser producer. OCP Group — the world's largest phosphate exporter — is investing in green ammonia production targeting EU markets. Cement clinker and grey Portland cement are exported to EU member states. Steel exports include structural sections and tubes from electric arc furnace operations. Morocco's aluminium default values reflect secondary (recycled) production routes.
Carbon pricing in Morocco: Morocco does not operate a domestic emissions trading scheme or carbon tax applicable to CBAM-covered goods.
No qualifying carbon price applies to Moroccan production. The full CBAM certificate cost applies to verified embedded emissions above the SEFA benchmark. Morocco's green hydrogen and green ammonia investments (OCP's $7bn platform) will progressively reduce embedded emissions toward zero for future production.
Morocco's cement sector carries among the lowest default values in the region (0.90 tCO₂e/t clinker) — efficient producers who verify actual data may find their SEE is below the SEFA benchmark, resulting in zero certificate liability. EAF steel producers should similarly verify actual emissions before assuming default costs apply.
