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.

Giga-Casting: The aluminium shot - Escaping the cost trap via Rheocasting, RidgeAlloy, and Tier 1 consolidation

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The margin collapse: European foundries face critical insolvencies as surging capital expenditure for massive giga-presses compresses profit margins down to 5 per cent, forcing aggressive Tier 1 corporate consolidation. The primary smelter threat: Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s new "RidgeAlloy" allows structural automotive castings to absorb massive iron levels from post-consumer scrap, actively severing the electric vehicle industry's reliance on primary aluminium dilu ...

Alumina supply squeeze in northern China, glut in the south fuel cross-regional trade

From tightness to oversupply in southwest China At the beginning of the year, the commissioning progress of new alumina projects in Guangxi fell short of expectations, compounded by temporary production cuts at several alumina plants in the southwest region, leading to persistently tight spot supply in the area. With this year's new alumina capacity primarily concentrated in Guangxi, the gradual ramp-up and release of these new capacities have recently eased the tight spot conditions in the s ...

Aluminium infrastructure increasingly targeted as power network vandalism rises in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe's electricity transmission network is facing growing attacks as vandals increasingly target aluminium components after the utility replaced copper equipment to reduce metal theft. The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) said criminals have adapted to changes in the power network by stealing aluminium infrastructure that was installed in place of copper components. Speaking at a media briefing, Cloud Chakanyuka, ZETDC's Regional Transmission Manager, ...
