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.

On 9^th March 2021, the incident took place at the American industrial giant’s alumina refinery in Wagerup, 120 kilometres south of Perth.

As per our sources, the material leakage from a tank came to Alcoa’s knowledge at late night. However, no employees were in the zone at the time and the clean-up of the site was commenced immediately.

On 12^th March 2021, Alcoa engaged the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety and inspectors on-site to investigate.

Alcoa stated that the potentially alkaline mining process material had escaped through a hole in the bottom of a tank in a report to the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.

A spokesperson for the department said: “Alcoa reported that the material entered the second and third containment bunds before flowing to the unsealed ground in the processing area.”

Alcoa’s report said: “No material entered the surrounding environment and that it was not expected to enter waterways.”
