(31a) While the surrendering of CBAM certificates for EU imports addresses the risk of carbon leakage on the EU market, it is essential to also avoid the risk of EU exports on global markets being replaced by more carbon intensive goods or by goods that are not subject to equivalent carbon costs.

(40) Renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels can be important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in sectors that are hard to decarbonise. Where recycled carbon fuels and renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin are produced from captured carbon dioxide under an activity covered by this Directive, the emissions should be accounted under that activityfor at the point of release. To ensure that renewable fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels contribute to greenhouse gas emission reductions and to avoid double counting for fuels that do so, it is appropriate to explicitly extend the empowerment in Article 14(1) to the adoption by the Commission of implementing acts laying down the necessary adjustments for how to account for the eventual release of carbon dioxide and how to avoid double counting to ensure appropriate incentives are in place, taking also into account the treatment of these fuels under Directive (EU) 2018/2001.

In the case of installations whose greenhouse gas emissions are intrinsically hard or impossible to abate according to the chemical procedures involved in the production process (such as calcium production installations) the chemically irreductible fraction of emissions has to be assessed and taken into account, so that special measures regarding free allowances may be taken into account.
