April 7, 2026: The first CBAM certificate price will be published

On 6 March 2026, the European Commission's Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union (DG TAXUD) announced a key milestone in the implementation of CBAM: the first quarterly price of CBAM certificates will be published on 7 April 2026. This information has direct operational significance for all importers of goods covered by the mechanism.

What does this mean in practice?

CBAM certificates will be available for purchase from February 1, 2027. However, the prices of these certificates for individual quarters of 2026 will be published from April 2026. This will allow importers to:

CBAM certificate price publication schedule for 2026

The European Commission has confirmed the following dates for the publication of quarterly certificate prices:

Quarter Price publication date Calculation method Publication platform
Q1 2026 April 7 2026 Quarterly average EU ETS auction prices EC website + CBAM register
II quarter of 2026 July 6 2026 Quarterly average EU ETS auction prices EC website + CBAM register
Third quarter 2026 SEPTEMBER 5, 2026 Quarterly average EU ETS auction prices EC website + CBAM register
4th quarter of 2026 January 4 2027 Quarterly average EU ETS auction prices EC website + CBAM register

Certificate sales platform – Common Central Platform

Concurrently with the announcement of the price schedule, the European Commission announced an ongoing tender for the supplier of the Common Central Platform (CCP) system – a central platform that will handle the sale and redemption of CBAM certificates from 1 February 2027.

The deadline for submitting offers has passed March 20, 2026 at 12:00 CET. Launching the platform is a necessary condition for starting to sell certificates.

What does this mean for importers?

The launch of the CCP is a critical element of the entire CBAM system. Without this platform, purchasing certificates is impossible. The fact that the tender was announced in advance gives importers the certainty that the infrastructure will be ready before February 1, 2027 – the date from which certificate purchase becomes mandatory.

Due to changes related to the CBAM regulation and difficulties in completing the report on my own, I started looking for support in this area. At the same time, I had a concern in the back of my mind that since it was a completely new mechanism, most of the new "experts" would want to use it, disregarding the interests of our company. However, I was lucky that after a dynamic search I found Green Reporting. After the first telephone conversation with Ms. Ania, I felt the professionalism of the other party. She quickly explained to me what CBAM is and what causes all the problems associated with it. Then, she provided detailed steps to help us submit the report, and literally a few days later, the problem was already solved by her. Despite my intervention at the last bell, the ladies from Green Reporting rose to the challenge, which is why we decided to sign a one-year contract with them.
