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 scrap imports increased in India during April-September despite auto sector slowdown

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

According to a recent report, the slowdown in the automobile sector in India could not resist the rise in aluminium scrap imports during April-September of the financial year 2019-20. As per the data submitted to the Ministry of Finance, citing figures from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the imports have risen by 6.5 per cent, while the Indian auto sector’s production tumbled 13 per cent.

“In the garb of imports for the auto sector, scrap is being consumed in other sectors like electrical transmission and utensils. But the use of scrap in such sectors is detrimental and only primary aluminium should be used,” said an industry source.

The Aluminium Association of India (AAI) feels the benign import duty of 2.5 per cent on scrap is unable to restrict inbound shipments. Meanwhile, domestic primary aluminium producers are confronting high duty differential between primary and scrap. Compared with a duty of 7.5 per cent plus premium over LME prices on primary aluminium, scrap attracts a mild duty of 2.5 per cent.

AAI noted the total difference in duty between primary aluminium and scrap comes to $400-500 per tonne. It also noted the aluminium scrap imports in India are non-essential as there are sufficient primary aluminium capacity and domestic scrap availability.

The country’s primary aluminium industry is facing a heightened threat from scrap imports as that account for 58 per cent of the country’s overall imports in FY19, resulting in a foreign exchange outgo of $2.5 billion or INR 17,200 crore.

During the January-March period of calendar 2019, India already edged past China as the largest scrap importer. In FY19, India’s scrap imports from the US had soared 149 per cent, while total scrap imports rose 21 per cent.

The domestic aluminium industry is, however, pinning hopes on the Government of India’s upcoming Vehicle Scrap Policy that mandates scrapping of 28 million vehicles plying on roads for a decade.
