What is CCA?
The Clean Competition Act (CCA), a carbon tariff legislative proposal put forward by the United States in June 2022, aims to guide the decarbonization of manufacturing by imposing a carbon border tax on high-carbon-intensity products.
For importers, the CCA requires them to pay a carbon tax on carbon emissions that exceed the average carbon intensity of the United States when entering the US market, based on the carbon emissions during the production process of the goods.
Which industries are covered by CCA?
The first batch of products to be included in the management covers 21 types of energy-intensive products, including basic materials (steel, aluminum, cement, glass), chemicals (fertilizers, hydrogen, ethanol, petrochemical products), and energy (crude oil, gasoline, diesel), etc.
In the future, plans are made to expand to downstream products of these products (such as automobiles, machinery, etc.).
What do enterprises need to do?
Enterprises need to calculate carbon emission data, assess the carbon intensity of their products and submit verifiable carbon emission data reports, and pay carbon taxes.
The effective date of CCA
The CCA has not yet been officially approved and the time may be further postponed. However, it has become a trend for countries to impose carbon tariffs. Enterprises need to take “accounting preparation + technological carbon reduction” as the core and respond in advance to the escalation of global green trade barriers.
What difficulties do enterprises face in responding to CCA?
Data collection and accounting are complex
Product carbon footprint assessments must cover direct emissions and purchased energy emissions, with potential future inclusion of supply chain emissions. Most companies lack carbon accounting systems, making data traceability difficult.
High difficulty in supply chain collaboration
Low transparency in the supply chain and high communication costs make it difficult for enterprises to obtain detailed carbon emission information from upstream raw materials or subcontractors. The lack of digital management tools and carbon footprint visualization tools further exacerbates the difficulty of supply chain management.
The competitiveness of high-carbon products has declined
If the unit carbon intensity of export products is higher than the average carbon intensity of the United States, it will directly lead to the imposition of a high “carbon border adjustment fee”, weakening the price competitiveness, which is particularly difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to bear.
The pressure from multiple compliance barriers is huge
Some export enterprises need to deal with different carbon tariff systems such as CBAM, UK CBAM and CCA simultaneously. The accounting and reporting methods of different systems vary, making it difficult for enterprises to handle them all at once.
