This study analyzes the potential impact of EU carbon border regulation mechanism (CBAM) on the export of China’s carbonintensive products.First

we summarized the main content of the CBAM.Next

based on the input-output theory

this study proposes a calculation model for the implicit carbon emissions and indirect carbon emissions from electricity consumption in export products and presents the corresponding calculation results.Based on the scenario analysis method

six carbon tariffscenarios were designed to evaluate the impact of the CBAM on the major export sectors under each scenario.The results showed that in 2021

the implicit carbon emissions in all products exported to Europe from China were approximately 375 million tons

of which the indirect carbon emissions from electricity were approximately 41.8 million tons

accounting for more than 10%.According to the current levy plan

China is expected to be subject to carbon tariffs of approximately USD 1.4 billion

accounting for 0.3% of its total export value to Europe in 2021.Finally

to reduce the adverse effects of CBAM

four measures were proposed from the perspective of the power industry.
