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.

Toyo Seikan creates phenomenal lightweight aluminium cans to mitigate carbon emissions

EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 2MINS READ

Toyo Seikan Co., Ltd., a prominent subsidiary of Toyo Seikan Group Holdings Ltd., unveils its latest innovation in the realm of aluminium beverage cans. Pioneering the development of the lightest aluminium DI can in the domestic market, Toyo Seikan introduces Compression Bottom Reform (CBR) technology, poised to reshape the landscape of can manufacturing.

Utilising state-of-the-art CBR technology, Toyo Seikan achieves a remarkable feat in can engineering by reinforcing the bottom of the beverage can, thus significantly reducing its weight. This innovation permits the creation of 204mm Stay-On Tab (SOT) cans, catering primarily to alcoholic beverages, with unparalleled efficiency.

Reducing carbon footprint: A step toward sustainability

The implementation of CBR in the 204mm SOT cans heralds a new era of environmental responsibility. By shaving off 1.5g from the 350ml cans and 2.0g from the 500ml cans, Toyo Seikan achieves a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per can, amounting to approximately 9% compared to conventional counterparts. Moreover, extrapolating the impact on a larger scale, the potential annual reduction in GHG emissions stands at an impressive 40,000 tonnes.

Innovative technology for a greener tomorrow

CBR technology stands as a testament to Toyo Seikan's commitment to sustainability. Offering a perfect blend of lightweight construction and robust compression strength, CBR redefines the standards of can manufacturing. With plans underway to expand its implementation across all manufacturing bases nationwide, Toyo Seikan is poised to catalyze a paradigm shift towards eco-conscious packaging solutions.

Looking ahead: Towards a sustainable future

As part of its Long-Term Management Vision 2050, "The Future, Wrapped for All," Toyo Seikan Group Holdings Ltd. envisions a future where packaging transcends its conventional boundaries to create transformative societal impact. With an ecstatic heritage dating back to 1917, the company continues to spearhead innovation on a global scale, embracing diversity and sustainability as cornerstones of its corporate ethos.
