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.

The Aluminum Association releases New Aluminum In Green Building Guidelines at Greenbuild 2016

EDITED BY : DIPANWITA GUPTA 2MINS READ

The Aluminum Association announced the release of Aluminum in Green Buildings – A Guide to Environmental Declarations at the GreenBuild 2016 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, C.A. The Guide, which is a part of a series of guidelines being developed by the Aluminum Association for the building and construction market sector, is now available both online as well as at the Associations booth #2426 at GreenBuild 2016.

The new Aluminum in Green Buildings Guide is designed in order to help all stakeholders in the aluminium value chain including aluminium producers, end-users, architects, designers, engineers and others – understand how to conduct environmental assessments for aluminium building products in an appropriate manner and make environmental declarations based on that. Environmental product declaration (EPD) is increasingly becoming an important component of US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) V4 program. So much so, the traditional recycled aluminium method for material credit mentioned in the previous versions of LEED is being replaced by EPD.

Green buildings Guide
“Our industry is dedicated to advancing sustainability efforts in building and construction through the use of light weight, recyclable aluminum,” said Heidi Brock, President & CEO of the Aluminum Association. “This new guide will help building and construction end-users and other stakeholders make educated assessments when developing environmental declarations.”

The Aluminum Association aims at guiding aluminium building product users in the inherent characteristics of the light metal, proper environmental assessment methods, and reliable sources of data and information on the aluminium product EPDs. This is essential because of the highly technical nature of EPD.

The Association released the first of the guideline series in 2015, at Greenbuild in Washington DC. That edition titled Aluminum in Green Buildings – A Guide to Green Building Development and Certification with Aluminum Products, was focused on guiding aluminium industry stakeholders to better utilize the unique material properties and life cycle characteristics of aluminium to help reap maximum benefits of the green building credits.
