How to eliminate CO2 emissions by producing galvanized wire sustainably

Over 10,000 facilities in the European Union are facing a growing challenge with the increasing costs of carbon emission allowances. With the objective of promoting a transition towards a less environmentally harmful energy model, the EU established in 2005 the Emissions Trading System (ETS) under Directive 2003/87/EC. The scheme involves over 10,000 installations across Europe, primarily those engaged in energy-intensive activities such as refineries, thermal power plants, steel mills, cement factories, and paper mills, among others.The problem affects not only European-based companies, but also foreign companies wishing to import into the old continent. To address the potential carbon leakage and ensure a level playing field for industries in the face of different climate policies around the world,  the EU has established the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which is intended to place a carbon price on imported goods based on their embedded carbon emissions.

In short, the direction we are heading is clear, and it is crucial that all companies - including those in the wire sector - do not find themselves unprepared.
