Technical Study on CBAM Implications in Algeria

This tender from Germany (DE) to be performed in Alger, Algeria, requires a contractor to produce a technical study focusing on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). In practical terms, this likely involves researching and analyzing Algerian industries potentially affected by CBAM, such as cement, iron, steel, aluminium, fertilizers, and electricity. The contractor will need to assess the carbon intensity of these industries, project the impact of CBAM on their competitiveness, and potentially suggest mitigation strategies. The required insights might extend to impacts on trade, investment, and Algeria's broader economic and environmental policy.

Scale and complexity indicators are difficult to ascertain fully without knowing the specific deliverables and scope. However, the 'general' trade category suggests a relatively broad, encompassing study, rather than a deep dive into a specific sector. The short timeframe between publication and deadline indicates a need for a rapid response and existing expertise in both CBAM regulations and Algerian industries. Given the location of the study and potential data gathering challenges, experience working in Algeria and knowledge of local languages may be advantageous. The lack of published value suggests competitive pricing will be important.
