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.

Did US tariffs cut America's reliance on Canadian aluminium? The numbers tell a different story

Washington's tariff strategy aimed to revive domestic aluminium production and reduce reliance on Canadian imports. A year later, the numbers tell a more nuanced story — one where prices moved faster than production, diversification outpaced displacement, and one of the world's most integrated aluminium supply chains proved far more resilient than expected. More than 2.9 million tonnes of aluminium left Canadian ports for global markets in 2025. Of that, roughly 2.3 million tonnes were shippe ...

Primary vs. Secondary Aluminium: Your scrap is worth more than your smelter

How scrap leakage, CBAM tariffs, and impurity science are redrawing the economics of aluminium EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The margin threat: Aluminium scrap prices have surged to over 90 per cent of the LME primary ingot price, wiping out traditional arbitrage and forcing a total procurement reset. The CBAM reality: Secondary post-consumer scrap carries a zero upstream carbon burden, bypassing the incoming €75.36 per tonne European border taxes that will cripple high-carbon primary imports. The ...

Strait of Hormuz: Open waterway or controlled passage? Oil and aluminium markets await clarity

Has the Strait of Hormuz really reopened? The answer depends on whom you ask. Following the preliminary agreement between Washington and Tehran on June 17, markets initially welcomed the prospect of the Strait of Hormuz returning to normal operations and global energy supplies flowing without disruption. The easing of immediate geopolitical tensions prompted traders to unwind much of the risk premium that had accumulated during the conflict, triggering a sharp correction across oil and alumini ...
