Full EU CBAM Implementation Clock Ticking---The Manufacturing Sector’s Breakthrough Battle
Starting January 1, 2026, the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will enter its full implementation stage, imposing additional tariffs on high-carbon industries such as aluminum and steel. Multinational giants like Siemens, GE, Emerson, are tightening carbon emission controls across their supply chains. With the clock ticking, how do the traditional manufacturers make their break through?
As an innovative and forward-thinking corporate citizen, Youthen Metal already certificated by ISO 14001 environmental management system many years ago. Contributing to global carbon reduction is an integral part of our social responsibility. Besides, our flagship product—high-efficiency liquid cooling plates, heatsinks, and thermal management systems—align with the vision of a low-carbon, eco-friendly future, allowing us to contribute to a greener planet. Additionally, reducing energy consumption and minimizing carbon emissions during the manufacturing of our thermal products has always been a consistent objective for our company. And as an important partner to global leaders like Siemens and Emerson, Youthen Metal Technology Co., Limited has taken proactive action. Invested and built a 250 KW PV power station at its rooftop, embarking on a dual path of cost reduction and low-carbon transformation.
This project reduces carbon emissions by over 259 tons annually, significantly cutting energy costs and positioning Youthen Metal as a green manufacturing pioneer in South China!
At the same time, Youthen Metal is collaborating with renowned customers both domestic and international, to jointly develop and manufacture inverters and liquid cooling plates for solar and energy storage systems. We are delighted that our products directly contribute to energy conservation and carbon reduction. And we are already benefiting from the low-carbon now!
