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 aluminium plate, strip and foil output holds up; peak season outlook clouded by rapid price rise

In July, SHFE aluminium traced a bottoming-out-and-rebounding path with a choppy upward bias. The settlement price of the most-traded aluminium contract climbed steadily from around RMB 22,500 per tonne in early July and gained RMB 1,110 per tonne, up roughly 4.9 per cent, by month-end. Even though July is a traditional off-season, China's aluminium plate, strip, and foil sector ran broadly stable. Weekly output eased modestly but held at about 390,000 tonnes, with operating rates staying in ...

Norway’s low-carbon aluminium gets greener from Hydro REDUXA to Alcoa EcoLum

Low-carbon aluminium is becoming an increasingly important product category as manufacturers look to reduce the embodied emissions of their aluminium supply chains. Norway is a low-carbon aluminium hub because its smelters are powered largely by renewable hydropower, enabling producers such as Norsk Hydro and Alcoa to manufacture certified low-carbon aluminium products including Hydro REDUXA, Hydro CIRCAL, EcoLum™ and EcoDura™. Against this backdrop, the following companies and production ope ...
