# Will the UK CBAM cover diesel and jet fuel from Indian refineries?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/uk-cbam-refinery-products-diesel-jet-fuel

Possibly. The UK government says it intends to bring refinery products such as petrol, diesel and jet fuel into the CBAM, subject to a consultation running from 28 October 2026 to 20 January 2027. One option covers fuels and blending components by 8-digit code, such as 2710 1921 kerosene jet fuel and gas oils under 2710 19.

## What is proposed

- Scope could start with fuels and blending components from refineries: types of petrol, diesel, jet fuel and kerosene.
- Listed examples include 2710 1270 spirit type jet fuel, 2710 1921 kerosene jet fuel and gas oils under 2710 19 by sulphur content.
- The government would publish default values before any start.

## Context

- UK CBAM starts on 1 January 2027 with aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen, and iron and steel.
- Indirect emissions are delayed to 2029 at the earliest.
- Country-specific default values for current sectors are planned from 2029.

## What to do now

Read the consultation and respond by 23:59 on 20 January 2027 if your UK sales are material. No start date for refinery products has been set.

## What Senseible does here

Senseible does not build CBAM figures for refinery products. For a refinery's own fuel and power use, it reads the invoices into monthly emissions.
