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.

China, India go slow with coal power expansion; renewables to take centre stage

EDITED BY : DIPANWITA GUPTA 2MINS READ

The Asian countries are going slow with their coal-based power project expansion plans. A recent report titled 'Boom and Bust 2017: Tracking the Global Coal Plant Pipeline' says Asian super powers China and India have frozen 68 GW of coal power plant construction at over 100 sites across the two nations. When viewed in the context of the rising prospects of renewable energy, this trend seems to be driven in the right direction.

The survey also divulged a parallel trend of ongoing over-investment in coal projects in India. These investments invariably indicate towards a potential waste of capital over the time, the authors of the report- Sierra Club, Greenpeace and Coalswarm opines.

It has been found that there has been a significant 48 per cent drop in the overall pre-construction activity, a 62 per cent decline in new construction starts and an 85 per cent decline in new coal-fired power plant permits in China.

In India, on the other hand, construction work at 31 coal-based power plant units totalling 12,725 MW of capacity across 13 project sites has been stalled, mainly due to freezing of financial support from various authorities.

People who are at the helm of affairs say India's power demand has not grown in tandem with the expanding plant capacity. Besides, the cost of renewable energy has also dropped causing financial backers to withdraw support from the projects.

"Despite the slowdown in construction of new plants, and plant load factors dipping to an all-time low, there are more than 170 GW of power plants under various stages of approval," observed campaigner with Greenpeace India Sunil Dahiya.

However, there lies a silver lining. The draft National Electricity Plan in India, released by the Central Electricity Authority in December last year states that until 2027 no further coal-fired power capacity beyond that currently under construction will be needed, and the power generated from the ones that are currently under construction will be required only after 2022.
