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.

Aluminium recycling: Promoting circular economy and environmental responsibility

EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 7MINS READ

The global heavy metal industry is undergoing a significant transformation. It is prioritising the use of recycled materials to eradicate carbon emissions and promote sustainable practices. In response to escalating environmental concerns and climate volatility, international heavy metal brands are intensifying their efforts to adopt eco-friendly operational frameworks. This shift hinges upon robust renewable energy initiatives and amplified green strategies.

Aluminium Recycling: Promoting circular economy and environmental responsibility

{alcircleadd}

Recycling aluminium emerges as a pivotal solution, outstripping primary production methods by conserving up to 95% of the energy expended in smelting processes. Furthermore, aluminium's status as a 100% recyclable, circular metal facilitates retrieval without significant material loss, reinforcing its reputation as a 'green metal' due to its capacity for perpetual reincarnation within the material loop.

After a downturn attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, global aluminium demand is rebounding, with a resurgence to 90 million tonnes in 2021. China stands as the foremost consumer of recycled aluminium globally, with a usage rate of approximately 11 million tonnes in 2021, poised to escalate to 14.5 million tonnes by 2026. China's aluminium industry, including its recycled sector, has undergone notable reforms and operational adjustments in recent years. Stricter regulations governing the importation of aluminium scrap and elevated quality standards have reshaped the landscape.
