Priced on default values. This good has one published benchmark whatever the production route, so that benchmark is used (IR (EU) 2025/2620 Annex point 5.1).

Benchmarks: IR (EU) 2025/2620 Annex point 5, Column B.

Mark-up on the default: 1 % from 2026 (IR (EU) 2026/1740 Annex I opening paragraph).

At the Q2 2026 official CBAM certificate price of €75.28, held flat; the price for later years is not yet published.

Cost per tonne = (default × (1 + mark-up) − CBAM factor × benchmark) × price, never below zero (IR (EU) 2025/2620 Annex point 4, Equation 6).
