Metinvest develops tool to mitigate EU Carbon Border Adjustment costs
What happened
Metinvest Polytechnic, part of the Metinvest group, created a tool designed to help businesses assess the economic benefits of using biomethane instead of natural gas. This tool helps determine when switching to alternative fuel is financially beneficial given the EU's carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) payments for metal products. The research results were presented in Jordan at the international conference ICSIE 2026.

Why it matters
The tool provides a practical method for businesses exporting metal products to Europe to reduce their carbon footprint and potentially lower costs associated with CBAM payments. The research highlights that this challenge is relevant not only to Ukraine but also to Jordan and other countries exporting products to the EU.
