Calculate Embedded Emissions for Unwrought Aluminium (HS7601)

Enter your input

Payable emissions (tCO₂e/t)

Total CBAM Cost (€)

Notes:
There may be a difference when calculating the price with respect to import volume, carbon price, and benchmark emissions, as the embedded formula may result in minor variations due to decimal rounding. Therefore, the actual value may vary.

CBAM is applicable to trade volumes starting from 50 metric tonnes. For trade volumes below 50 metric tonnes, CBAM does not apply.

Usage Procedure – How to use the CBAM Calculator Sheet

Enter or update values only in the INPUT
PARAMETERS section (Highlighted in blue) , including
the carbon price, benchmark emissions, CBAM
chargeable percentage (as per the phase-in year),
and imported quantity.

The system will automatically calculate the payable
emissions and the total CBAM cost (€) based on the
inputs provided.

Notes:
• Change any input value to automatically update CBAM cost.
• Formula used: Carbon price × payable emissions × quantity.
• Model aligned with CBAM supplier-side illustrative methodology.

China’s metallurgical-grade alumina output mounts to 77.68 Mt in 2022 amid energy price surge and pandemic outbreak

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

According to the Shanghai Metals Market, China’s metallurgical-grade alumina output in December 2022 (31 calendar days) stood at 6.43 million tonnes, reflecting a month-on-month rise of 2.2 per cent from 6.29 million tonnes and a year-on-year increase of 1 per cent from 6.36 million tonnes.

But despite the growth in monthly production, the average daily output recorded a downfall of 2,500 tonnes or 1.2 per cent M-o-M from 209,800 tonnes to 207,300 tonnes in December 2022. The monthly growth in December was primarily due to one working day more than the previous month.

However, on a year-on-year calculation, China’s daily average alumina output in December’22 recorded 2,000 tonnes or 0.97 per cent higher than 205,300 tonnes.

China’s cumulative production of alumina from January to December 2022 amounted to 77.68 million tonnes, up by 7.65 per cent year-on-year from 72.16 million tonnes. As of the end of December 2022, the domestic installed alumina capacity stood at 96.75 million tonnes, while the operating capacity was 75.44 million tonnes, down by 1.5 per cent from 76.6 million tonnes a month ago but up by 0.7 per cent from 74.92 million tonnes a year earlier. Meanwhile, the operating rate stood restrained M-o-M at 79 per cent.

SMM estimates the net imports of alumina to come in at 150,000 tonnes in December 2022. There was a slight shortage of 44,000 tonnes in the month but a surplus of about 1.66 million tonnes during January-December.

Daily output decreased in December as alumina refineries in North China were less willing to resume or increase production due to the pandemic outbreak, winter heating season, high energy costs, poor transportation, and difficulty in raw material procurement. In southwest China, 1.2 million tonnes of alumina capacity was cut, and the output declined by about 110,000 tonnes in December.

Overall, the total installed production capacity grew 9.2 per cent from 88.6 million tonnes in 2021 to 96.75 million in 2022, with the commissioning of 10.3 million tonnes of new capacity. In January 2023 (31 calendar days), China’s alumina output is estimated at 6.56 million tonnes, a Y-o-Y increase of 3.1 per cent.
