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.

Ceasefire eases LME aluminium trend from prices to inventories

EDITED BY : NILANJANA BANERJEE 3MINS READ

Primary Aluminium Billets

After the soaring records on April 7, the London Metal Exchange (LME) aluminium prices cooled at the close of the April 8 session, as a reaction to the mutually agreed two-week ceasefire announced by the US President Donald Trump on April 8. With the limited trade flow allowed at the tentative reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the market panic recorded in the last few weeks has begun to ease, as evident from the figures at the close of the session on April 8.
