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.

Andromeda to use Great White Kaolin for HPA development, targets 4N alumina samples in 2026

Andromeda Metals to start high purity alumina pilot plant

Andromeda Metals has started commissioning its high-purity alumina (HPA) pilot plant. It marks another step towards commercial production using Great White kaolin and its proprietary processing technology.

The pilot plant will allow the company to test continuous production rather than batch processing and is to operate through the third quarter of 2026. The company plans to use the program for future feasibility work and project development.

Andromeda plans to produce commercial-grade 4N HPA samples in the second half of 2026. These samples will be sent to potential customers for qualification testing, an important stage before commercial supply agreements can be secured.

The pilot plant follows earlier laboratory work in which the company produced HPA with a purity level of 99.9985 per cent. A scoping study completed in 2025 also indicated favourable project economics and competitive production costs.

The test program will also examine the potential recovery of by-products, including amorphous silica and possibly gallium. Neither material was included in the previous economic assessment, meaning they could provide additional revenue opportunities if commercial uses are confirmed.

Andromeda is developing the project around its Great White kaolin deposit, with the aim of producing high-purity alumina for specialist applications. The company is seeking to establish a supply chain that is separate from traditional aluminium production routes.

The pilot plant campaign is expected to provide key technical and operational data as Andromeda progresses towards commercial production and customer qualification activities planned for late 2026.
