Mineral Products Association bemoans UK budget’s lack of commitment to a UK carbon border adjustment mechanism

UK: The Mineral Products Association (MPA) has called on the UK government to publish its promised response paper to consultations over a proposed UK carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) for imports of goods produced by heavy industries, including cement. This follows the failure of the government’s latest budget for 2023 to commit to the development of a national CBAM. The MPA said that it was ‘deeply disappointed’ with the outcome.

MPA executive director for energy and climate change Diana Casey said “The delay in committing to a CBAM sends the signal that the UK is not the place to invest. Cement is essential to our everyday lives. The construction of our homes, hospitals, offices and much more depend on it. We cannot take its supply for granted and neither can we put ourselves at risk of unstable international trading markets. Levelling the carbon cost between domestic production and imports is vital to attract the investment required to decarbonise and ensure our long-term security of supply. The UK government must urgently commit to a CBAM on cement.”
