nce 2011, the world’s steelmakers have been feeling the heat. Prices for the metal have halved due to flatlining demand and rising exports from China, which now smelts 50% of the global output. Profits at steel firms around the world have fallen into a sea of red ink, shuttering plants and laying off workers. New measures designed to raise the price of carbon in the EU to help the bloc meet its climate-change targets, voted on by the European Parliament on February 15th, threaten to increase the pressure. The industry is a heavy user of carbon; responsible for 5% of global emissions. Some steel firms have responded by calling for carbon tariffs to prevent the measures undermining their international competitiveness. How do border taxes on carbon emissions work? And are they a good idea?

The reforms the European Parliament passed this week are an attempt to increase the price of carbon by cutting the emissions allowances granted to firms. The measures include the EU’s first border tax on carbon, levied on cement imports. Steel firms, also heavy users of carbon, say their exclusion from this scheme is unfair. This week Lakshmi Mittal, the CEO of Arcelor Mittal, the world’s biggest steelmaker, offered his support for the tax. Similar proposals in America are also being mooted. This month a group of Republicans—including two former treasury secretaries, James Baker and George Shultz—proposed a similar levy on imports at the border, as well as for domestic production. Their plan includes a carbon tax on imports of up to $40 for each tonne produced by their manufacture, which would increase over time. The income from the levy would then be distributed to American households on a quarterly basis to make up for higher consumer prices. 

Proponents of such policies say that they remove the distortions caused by carbon taxes. Under the EU’s reforms, steelmakers in Europe would pay up to €30 ($32) to emit a tonne of carbon, but foreign producers selling in the EU would not have to pay a cent. This harms the cost competitiveness of European producers. It also encourages firms to move production outside the bloc rather than prompt them to use cleaner methods. Taxing imports on their embodied carbon—where this has not already happened in their country of origin—would level the playing field between different systems, they say. It would also give an incentive to countries without controls on emissions to introduce their own carbon taxes, in order to grab a share of the revenues

Economists say the idea works in theory. But many think it would be much more difficult in practice. One big problem is the difficulty of calculating the embodied carbon in imports. This is not easy even for simple sheets of steel; for items made of several bits of metal from different sources, it is hellishly complex. Disputes over this could produce reams of litigation at the WTO between various systems. But the reason why trade economists are so squeamish about carbon tariffs is the fear that they could cause a tariff war. The EU and America are already in a politically driven tit-for-tat over steel duties with China; they have risen in some cases to over 500%. Rather than prod countries to tighten their own regulations, new carbon tariffs could make that battle more vicious. Worse still, lobby groups could easily pervert the charges into a form of quiet protectionism. Donald Trump’s presidency has already rattled free-traders’ nerves. Why risk giving the protectionists another opening? 

Question:

How can raising carbon prices affect the steel industry? 

  1. Raising carbon prices cannot affect the steel industry in anyway. 

  2. The steel industry is a heavy user of carbon and accounts for 5% of the global carbon emissions. Thus raising carbon prices will increase overall cost for the steel industry ultimately lowering their profit margin and cause further increase in already existing problems like closure of plants and laying off of workers. 

  3. The steel industry is a heavy user of carbon accounting for 5% of the global carbon emissions. Thus if it has to pay more fines, it will cut it from the salary of the workers causing worker unrest. 

  4. The proposed increase in price has been put forth by the European Union and it is to be implemented on the European steel industries. This would cause the European steel industry to lose out against the Chinese steel industry in the global market as China doesn't have extra taxes on them

  5. . The steel industries are dying as the there is less requirement of steel in this plastic age and a further rise in carbon prices would provide a death knell as they would lose out on their minimum profit margin.

Why risk giving the protectionists another opening? 

Question:

Why do carbon taxes cause firms to move production outside the bloc?

  1. Currently, carbon taxes are applicable on the firms that produce steel inside the European bloc's territory whereas any foreign producer selling to the bloc need not pay the taxes. This creates price disparity between the producers prompting many to produce outside the bloc and sell back to the bloc increasing their profit margin.

  2. Currently, carbon taxes are applicable on the firms that produce steel inside the European bloc's territory and also outside the bloc's territory. Thus the firms are moving production outside the bloc as well as selling to escape the additional burden of the carbon taxes instead of moving to more cleaner practices of steel production.

  3. Carbon taxes where put into play to control the emission of carbon by steel producing firms. But it has failed to create a level playing field for the firms as they are losing out against foreign competitors. 

  4. Carbon taxes are only applicable on firms producing inside the European territory. This lowers the profit margin of the firms and also forces them to adopt more cleaner methods of production. Thus it allows the lowering of carbon emission. 

  5. Carbon taxes are not causing firms to produce outside the bloc but the forced methods of cleaner steel production is prompting many firms to move production outside the bloc.
