The study discusses the potential expansion of the CBAM to downstream products. Using the example of products from the automotive value chain (wheels, brakes, crankshafts, forged and flat-rolled primary products), it shows that the CO₂ costs vary greatly depending on the product. The estimates of the carbon costs are complemented with expert assessments from interviews. The study then derives a series of criteria to be considered for the extension of CBAM to downstream products.1 Online-Ressource (58 Seiten, 1,83 MB) : Diagrammeenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/363.7Shall the CBAM be expanded further downstream? : insights from assessing products along the automotive value chain : final report / by Johanna Cludius, Verena Graichen, Sienna Healy, Reena Skribbe (Oeko-Institut, Berlin) ; on behalf of the German Environment Agency ; edited by: Section V 3.3 "Economic Aspects of Emissions Trading, Auctioning, Evaluation" - Dr. Karl J.
