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.

Can aluminium salt slag become a resource? SGM's new sorting line says yes

Italian metals sorting technology specialist SGM Magnetics S.p.A. has introduced a new recovery system or sorting lineto extract commercial metals from salt slag fines, a byproduct of secondary aluminium production, addressing one of the industry's most difficult recycling streams.

SGM noted, “After crushing, grinding and classification, the fine fraction can still contain recoverable metallic aluminium and other valuable metals” during secondary aluminium smelting. However, the recovery has been a difficult feat owing to the high salt content, corrosive nature, abrasive dust and the micro-particle size of the fines.

According to SGM, particles measuring below 2 millimetres are especially difficult, as the metallic content is often irregularly shaped, rendering separation challenging.

Residual ferrous particles can also reduce the effectiveness of downstream processing, while valuable aluminium and other non-ferrous metals frequently remain trapped in the reject stream.

The company noted that such recovery losses are equivalent to “a direct loss of recoverable metal and a lower value of the material sent back to remelting or further treatment.”

To improve metal recovery, SGM's newly developed line combines its DSRP dynamic magnetic separator with the VIS-EF high-frequency eddy current separator. The structure can be modified based on factors such as particle size distribution, ferrous and non-ferrous metal content, processing capacity and targeted recovery rates.

Within the system, the DSRP unit removes residual ferrous fines that may interfere with subsequent separation stages, while the VIS-EF separator is designed to recover fine aluminium particles and other non-ferrous metals from smaller material fractions.

Apart from aluminium salt slag, the technology is also equipped to recover metals from other fine waste streams like auto shredder residue (ASR).

To improve equipment durability when processing corrosive materials, SGM also offers the option of manufacturing key system components using AISI 316 stainless steel, helping extend operational life under demanding processing conditions.
