CBAM, operator, installation ouside EU and carbon price

Does the operator of installation pay a carbon price in his own jurisdiction? According to Guidance document on CBAM implementation for installation operators outside the EU: “… To ensure similar treatment between installations in the EU ETS and in other countries, a carbon price due in the country where a CBAM good is produced will allow for a reduction in the CBAM obligation in the definitive period from 2026 onwards….”

The operator has to ensure that he includes information on carbon pricing in the monitoring methodology.
