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.

Arctial, a partnership between Rio Tinto, Mitsubishi Corporation, Fortum, ABB, Vargas, Tesi and Siemens Financial Services, has completed the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for its planned low-carbon primary aluminium production facility in Kokkola-Kruunupyy, Finland, marking a key milestone for the project.

Following the successful completion of the study, the partners have agreed to move into the next phase, which will involve more detailed technical, commercial and financial planning. The company also submitted its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in May 2026, with public hearings in the Kokkola-Kruunupyy region scheduled for the summer of 2026.

"Completing the Pre-Feasibility Study is an important milestone, but significant further work is still required within key areas such as construction, energy and environment before a final investment decision can potentially be made. We are now progressing the work as planned and look forward to continuing the collaboration with our stakeholders to jointly contribute to the success of the project," said Torbjörn Sternsjö, CEO of Arctial.

The project comes as Europe continues to rely heavily on imports of primary aluminium, while demand for low-carbon metal is rising rapidly due to the energy transition, stricter decarbonisation goals and the growing use of lightweight materials. Against an evolving geopolitical backdrop, the initiative also aims to strengthen secure and resilient industrial supply chains within Europe.

"Arctial is at the forefront of Europe’s re-industrialisation. The project has the potential to create a significant number of jobs in the Kokkola-Kruunupyy region and contribute to economic growth in Finland more broadly," said Pekka Vauramo, Chairman of the Board.

Arctial said it will continue advancing the project toward a final investment decision, with the long-term objective of producing low-carbon aluminium in Europe to serve the European market.
