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.

Alpha HPA bags Queensland Government grant to upscale its $300 million Gladstone alumina facility

EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 2MINS READ

Alpha HPA, a critical metals producer, has recently been granted a substantial Industry Partnership Program grant of $21 million by the Queensland government. This grant has been provided to support the second stage of the company's $300 million Gladstone high-purity alumina facility.

It is worth noting that the company's Stage 1 Precursor Production Facility is already operational and producing 99.99 per cent pure aluminium products using its proprietary licensed solvent extraction and refining technology in commercial quantities.

The plant currently produces 5N purity aluminium-nitrate and has plans to expand its product line to include HPA, aluminium sulfate, nano HPA, and high-purity aluminium hydroxides.

The Stage 2 plant is expected to create up to 117 jobs and establish stronger supply chain links between critical mineral production and manufacturing. It is a significant development for the company, which recognizes the importance of critical minerals in the production of lithium-ion batteries, LED lights, and semiconductors. These minerals are vital in improving the performance, reliability, and safety of these products, making them more efficient and effective.

Present Premier Steven Miles announced: "Investments like Alpha HPA's are growing Queensland's critical minerals processing capability and ensuring new industries have the materials to deliver safe, sustainable, high-performing products to market."

Alpha HPA's Managing Director, Rimas Kairaitis, has expressed his appreciation for the State's recognition of the opportunities in critical mineral production and processing for new-economy products.

Kairaitis pointed out: "Assistance through the government's Industry Partnership Program for the HPA First Project builds further momentum for the project and further growth of local supply chains.

"In 2021, we signed the Central Queensland Statement of Cooperation with the Queensland Government; this commitment provided certainty for established and new industries in the Gladstone region to contribute to the goal of net zero emissions manufacturing," he added.

The grant will undoubtedly help Alpha HPA to expand its operations and continue to produce high-quality critical metal products that meet the demands of the market. Overall, this development represents a major milestone for Alpha HPA and the critical metals industry as a whole.
