EU carbon border tax hits cement and steel imports

The EU just started collecting data on embedded carbon in cement and steel imports - the real test of whether carbon border adjustments can actually work without triggering a trade war. Early industry responses are fascinating and not what I expected.

Wait, what are the industry responses that surprised you? Because cement and steel are like the poster children for "impossible to decarbonize" - if border taxes are getting unexpected reactions from those sectors, that could actually reshape how we think about industrial transitions.
