## Description

The UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism \(CBAM\) will apply a charge on the carbon emissions embodied within certain emissions-intensive imported goods\. This means that the government will need to legislate for the products that will be within scope of the mechanism\. Research is required to finalise the exact scope of the products within the UK CBAM\. The first element of work is to produce 'system boundaries' for the glass and ceramics sectors including identifying relevant input materials for proposed products and mapping these to relevant production processes
