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.

AVK Group's valve solution powers new hydropower plant in Uganda

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

The Kigwabya hydropower plant in Uganda, with a peak power capacity of 4.6MW, has selected Orbinox, a part of the AVK Group, to provide critical valve solutions for its operations. Orbinox has a strong presence in Africa, contributing to over 100 dam and hydropower projects, including the historic Owen Falls Hydroelectric Project, now known as the Nalubaale Dam, where Glenfield Valves played a significant role in 1954.

The collaboration between Kigwabya and Orbinox was initiated in January 2023 through a business and employment-focused social media platform interaction with the project's site manager. The manager, impressed by Orbinox's track record in the African market for dams and hydropower, chose the company for critical valve solutions.

In the implementation of the Kigwabya project, Orbinox has played a pivotal role by supplying a comprehensive range of high-quality hydraulic control components tailored to the specific requirements of the hydroelectric facility. The four bi-directional MU wall-mounted sluice gates, each measuring 2000 x 2000 mm and constructed from durable stainless steel, are equipped with hydraulic actuators. These gates serve a crucial function as both dam gates and intake gates, ensuring precise control over water flow for optimal power generation. Additionally, a single bi-directional MU wall-mounted sluice gate, sized at 1000 x 1000 mm and composed of stainless steel, has been integrated with hydraulic actuators, functioning as a flush gate to facilitate seamless operations within the plant.

Orbinox has also provided essential manual and automated knife gate valves for efficient flow control. The DN300 EXV knife gate valve is designed for manual operation, offering flexibility in managing water passage. Meanwhile, the DN600 EXV knife gate valve, equipped with a hydraulic actuator, enhances the automation and precision of water regulation processes.

To further enhance the system, two SA stoplogs have been supplied, which are 2200 x 1600 mm each and crafted from lightweight yet robust aluminium. These stoplogs find application in the tailrace channel downstream of the powerhouse, contributing to the overall effectiveness and reliability of the hydroelectric infrastructure. Orbinox's comprehensive supply of specialized components underscores their commitment to delivering tailored solutions that meet the specific demands of the Kigwabya project, ensuring its success and longevity in sustainable energy generation.
