The CBAM would thus make it harder to compete with cheaper foreign grain.

因此，CBAM将使其更难与更便宜的外国谷物竞争。

This " carbon border adjustment mechanism" (CBAM) aims to level the playing field.

这种“碳边界调整机制”(CBAM)旨在创造公平的竞争环境。

If enacted, CBAM would not start until 2026 and take a decade to roll out.

如果计划通过，CBAM要到2026年才开始实施，并需要10年时间才能推广。

These will now be phased out as CBAM is phased in.

随着 CBAM 的逐步实施，这些现在将被逐步淘汰。

During the pilot phase, CBAM simply presents an extra hurdle (or a " non-tariff barrier" ) for exporters to the bloc.

在试点阶段，CBAM 只是为欧盟出口商设置了一个额外的障碍（或“非关税壁垒”）。

Before CBAM's introduction, Europe's carbon price meant that domestic industries faced an extra cost compared with those in countries with less ambitious decarbonisation plans.

在CBAM推出之前，欧洲的碳价格意味着与脱碳计划不那么雄心勃勃的国家相比，国内工业面临额外的成本。

In CBAM's pilot phase importers of aluminium, cement, electricity, fertiliser, hydrogen, iron and steel will need to report " embodied emissions" (those generated through production and transport).

在CBAM的试点阶段，铝、水泥、电力、化肥、氢气、钢铁的进口商将需要报告“隐含排放量”（通过生产和运输产生的排放量）。

Apple, the world's largest, has pledged to make its supply chain entirely carbon neutral by 2030. Industrial firms around the world now face a still greater incentive to accurately track their carbon footprints: CBAM.

全球最大的苹果公司已承诺到 2030 年使其供应链完全实现碳中和。世界各地的工业企业现在面临着准确跟踪其碳足迹的更大激励：CBAM。

If Asia's factories are pressed to reduce their emissions anyway by schemes such as CBAM, then its governments are leaving money on the table by not levying a carbon price of their own.

如果亚洲工厂无论如何都被迫通过 CBAM 等计划减少排放，那么其政府就会通过不征收自己的碳价来节省资金。

The " carbon border adjustment mechanism" (CBAM) will, by 2026, start to levy a carbon price on all the bloc's imports, meaning that European companies will have a strong incentive to push suppliers around the world to go green.

“碳边界调整机制”（CBAM）将在2026年开始对欧盟所有进口产品征收碳价，这意味着欧洲企业将有强大的动力推动全球供应商走向绿色。
