Cross border adjustment mechanism: Initial data for the assessment of hydrogen-based steel production

Ambitious climate targets affect the competitiveness of in-dustries in the international market. To prevent such indus-tries from moving to other countries in the wake of increased climate protection efforts, cost adjustments may become nec-essary. Their design requires knowledge of country-specific production costs. Here, we present country-specific cost fig-ures for different production routes of steel, paying partic-ular attention to transportation costs. The data can be used in floor price models aiming to assess the competitiveness of different steel production routes in different countries [1] .(c) 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
