Jungjingong Unveils Specialized E-Learning Content for CBAM Response

Collaboration with Korea Deloitte Group CBAM Task Force
Production of Content for a Total of 4 Courses

The Small and Medium Business Corporation announced on the 17th that it will release e-learning content on the 'EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Response Strategy' to strengthen the competitiveness of export-oriented small and medium enterprises.

The EU CBAM is a type of tariff system requiring companies exporting six items?steel, cement, electricity, fertilizer, aluminum, and hydrogen?to the EU to bear costs corresponding to the carbon emissions generated during the production process of their products. Until 2025, there is only an obligation to report carbon emissions during the transition period; however, from 2026, companies will be required to verify emissions and submit CBAM certificates, necessitating prior preparation by businesses.

Small and Medium Business Corporation

In response to these changes, the Small and Medium Business Corporation has developed and provided e-learning content to enhance understanding of CBAM and enable small and medium enterprises to respond effectively. Notably, the Corporation collaborated with the Korea Deloitte Group CBAM task force, composed of experts in emission calculation, tariffs, and authoritative interpretation, to help SMEs improve their understanding of CBAM and their carbon emission calculation capabilities.

The e-learning content consists of four courses: ▲Overview and key status of CBAM ▲Introduction to CBAM response cases ▲Methods for calculating CBAM carbon emissions ▲How to complete CBAM templates. This content will be available free of charge to anyone starting from the 18th through the Corporation’s digital learning platform and YouTube channel.

Kang Seok-jin, Director of the Small and Medium Business Corporation, stated, “The purpose of this e-learning is to deliver theoretical knowledge about CBAM in a way that small and medium enterprises can easily understand and systematically acquire.” He added, “We will continue efforts to provide offline practical training linked to the e-learning in the future so that employees of SMEs can develop not only theoretical knowledge but also practical response capabilities.”
