TECHWORLD ·
✦ AI Summary
KG Mobility signed an MOU with carbon management specialist Hushi Partners to respond to the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
CBAM is a system that imposes costs on carbon emissions generated during the production of imported EU goods, and it has been applied since January this year to six product categories, including steel and aluminum.
KGM and Hushi Partners plan to build a system for calculating emissions by part and lay the groundwork for collecting and verifying supply chain carbon data, linking CBAM certificate cost management with a response system for European carbon regulations.
KG Mobility has joined forces with carbon management specialist Hushi Partners in preparation for the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and efforts to expand its scope to auto parts in the future. KGM and Hushi Partners are cooperating to respond to the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and KG Mobility signed an MOU with Hushi Partners for that purpose.
CBAM is a system that imposes costs on carbon emissions generated during the production of imported EU goods. It has been applied since January this year to six product categories, including steel and aluminum, and plans are underway to expand its scope to auto parts and other products starting in 2028.
Products subject to the measure are required to purchase CBAM certificates corresponding to their emissions. If actual emissions data is not provided, default values by EU member state are applied, and those default values carry a 10% surcharge in 2026 and a 30% surcharge from 2028 onward.
Accordingly, KGM and Hushi Partners agreed to cooperate in establishing a system to calculate emissions by part and in laying the groundwork for collecting and verifying carbon data across the supply chain. Based on this, KGM plans to gradually link CBAM certificate cost management and establish a response system for European carbon regulations across the supply chain.
Lee Yong-heon, head of KGM's Research Planning Center, described the significance of the agreement as the first step toward proactively responding to European carbon regulations together with partners.
He also said the company plans to expand the calculation system developed through the pilot project across the entire supply chain, thereby enhancing export competitiveness.
