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.

Press Metal plans expanding aluminium extrusion capacity to meet rising demand for solar

EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 2MINS READ

It has been reported that Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Bhd is about to expand its extrusion capacity in its Klang plant at Selangor to suffice the rising demand for solar panels.

Tan Sri Koon Poh Keong, the firm's chief executive officer, assured that Press Metal was hoping for an additional 30,000 tonnes per year capacity increase since this new expansion will only focus on the manufacturing of solar frames. The group has projected that the newly enhanced aluminium extrusion plant will be fully optimised by the second half of 2023.

Press Metal's Klang extrusion plant currently possesses an annual capacity of 50,000 tonnes, whereas the company's second extrusion press in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China, flaunts an irreplaceable capacity of 160,000 tonnes yearly.

At this moment, both these plants ensure that Press Metal can remain a world leader with a combined aluminium extrusion capacity of 210,000 tonnes per year.

Press Metal's extrusion plants manufacture a vast range of items, often revered by the automobile, construction, electronic and other commercial sectors.

Koon mentioned in the company's 2022 annual report: "Our China extrusion operations have been actively exploring new applications in the electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors, which are touted as the next demand drivers for aluminium."

"Installation of the first extrusion line for aluminium battery casing was completed and began production in our extrusion facilities in Foshan during the year (2022)."

Koon seems to be actively searching for ways to make Press Metal a one-stop juncture for all the aluminium extrusion requirements in the world. He is enthusiastic about venturing into uncharted lands to discover more opportunities for the company. In his quest, the chief executive officer is eager to seek out new applications of aluminium in the automotive or electric vehicles industry.

At the moment, Press Metal has the lion's share of business in areas like China, where 31% of its aluminium extrusions are shipped, Malaysia keeps 19%, the United Kingdom and the United States fetch 19% as well, and Australia gets only 6% of it.
