The aim of this study is to support the Commission in identifying products other than the ones listed in Annex I to which the CBAM should potentially also apply as well. The study also looks at the possibility to extend the CBAM to transport emissions associated with import of goods covered under the CBAM. This study takes place in the context of Article 30(2) of the CBAM Regulation. Particularly, the study supported the Commission in identifying goods to potentially expand the scope of the CBAM to that are not yet covered under the CBAM to mitigate the risk of carbon leakage, including the technical feasibility of their inclusion. This included both goods from other sectors as well as precursors of the goods currently covered under the CBAM. Trinomics led the analysis for the shortlisting of goods to be prioritised under a potential scope expansion of the CBAM, for which the technical feasibility of their inclusion was further analysed by the project partners. Trinomics also led the stakeholder engagement activities with the industrial sectors on the potential CBAM scope expansion to other goods, which included interviews and a targeted survey.
