On July 9, 2026 the European Commission opened a public consultation, with feedback accepted until August 6, 2026, on a draft delegated regulation governing the sale and repurchase of CBAM certificates, the operation of the common central platform, fees, and the platform's interaction with the CBAM Registry. Under the draft, certificates are non-transferable and non-tradable; each carries a unique ID and is assigned exclusively to the purchasing declarant. Declarants place purchase and repurchase requests in the CBAM Registry, and the platform processes the payments. Certificates go on sale February 1, 2027, and the first surrender deadline is September 30, 2027, covering 2026 imports. 2026 remains a data-collection year with no quarterly reports and no certificate purchases; the Q2 2026 reference price of €75.28, published July 6, is the latest price signal.

On July 6, 2026 the European Commission published the Q2 2026 CBAM certificate quarterly reference price: €75.28/tCO2e, versus €75.36 for Q1 (published April 7), computed as the weighted average of EU ETS auction clearing prices over the quarter. Publication is quarterly through 2026 and moves to weekly from 2027. Compliance framing under the definitive regime in force since January 1, 2026: the transitional quarterly CBAM reports ended with the Q4 2025 report — there is no quarterly declaration due July 6 and no certificate purchases in 2026. This year's obligations are limited to importers above the 50-tonne/year de minimis becoming authorised CBAM declarants and collecting verified emissions data. Certificate sales open February 1, 2027 on the central platform, and the first annual CBAM declaration plus certificate surrender deadline is September 30, 2027 (postponed from the original May 31, 2027). With the 2026 adjustment factor at 2.5%, the cash impact stays small this year (roughly €1-4 per tonne of imported steel); the price matters mainly for modeling the 2027-2034 ramp.
